Incorrect. It's ~5 million [0]

> And Brave is implementing Manifest V3.

Incomplete. Brave already announced that they're leaving the webRequest API intact. [1]

> You better hope Google doesn't block submissions...

Have ya heard of a thing called installing software? You can easily install extensions without clinging to a walled garden. Brave makes this easier than Chrome.

Nothing said here has proved that Google has complete control over anything. Anyway enjoy using Firefox I guess? And you'd better hope that other web devs start to test with Firefox because most of them, including me, won't bother for the piddly amount of market share they still have.

My friend, your [0] is almost a decade old. I can pull the repository and prove that Chromium is even more than 35 million sloc.

There's also nothing "incomplete" about what I said. I did say that they claim they're leaving blocking webRequest intact.

Brave also doesn't make sideloading extensions easy. Enjoy your constant nagging from having developer mode enabled. Most users won't even go through the trouble.
