I'm not sure if that's what the person I was asking meant by "general agenda", considering the change you're talking about (Manifest v3) doesn't even affect Brave[0], or any other Chromium based browser that simply doesn't wish to implement that specific change. Chromium based browsers change their code all the time, and decide whether or not incoming changes will be fully adopted by their browser themselves.

Any divergence from upstream means

    a) ongoing cost of merging
    b) security updates delayed because of merging.

This means that there is a limit to how much any fork can allow itself to diverge. They will have to pick their battles and accept the least-worst.

It's possible the limit is high enough that it wont be a problem in practice though.
