Starting with the next major release, Chromium will stop supporting Manifest V2 extensions. The change will affect users who have clung to uBlock Origin in Chrome, Edge,...
Won’t helium be affected by this change? They bundle Unlock Origin, so they will not be able to do that if they want to follow chromium still. They may have to swap to forking off Brave who uses their own blocking engine.
Like I said at the top of my post I use librewolf for most tasks. Definitely don’t think anyone should be making daily driver decisions right now. Just raising awareness.
I’m not sure I’d recommend Ladybird or Orion for general use yet. Orion is still getting there on Linux, ladybird is in deep development.
…Why not a good fork? Like Zen, Librewolf, or if you need Chromium compatibility, Helium?

No idea how they’ll handle it, but yeah, they could lift Brave’s engine. Cromite also has its own adblocker they could pull in as a patch.
