My understanding is that this change in the extensions API will land in Chromium first, and so any browser depending on the extension mechanism of Chromium will be impacted, like Opera and Vivaldi. If I'm not guessing wrong, Opera and Vivaldi are compatible with Chrome extensions because they use the extension mechanism of Chromium, so they'll need additional maintenance burden to keep the `webRequest` API working.

Since they're keeping the API around for enterprise versions I'd expect them to leave it in Chromium and just have it be disabled by default.

this was my thought, too...the code is still there, so surely it's possible to package up an "enterprise version for non-enterprise users"?
