If Google leaves a boolean switch in Chromium to keep V2 enabled then I assume most if not all of the third party Chromium-derived browsers will just flip it to true by default. That's easy for them to do, the hard part is if Google strips out V2 altogether and leaves the downstream browsers to patch it back in.

Even when it's stripped out entirely, it will be easy to add back in. The changes (that adblockers care about) are just a few if statements changing the conditions under which synchronous inspection of web requests are allowed. Manifest V3 still allows them. But only in limited circumstances which are unsuitable for ad blocking.

There will be a switch available ... but only for a period of time before the functionality is completely removed

And apparently, as per this post, only available to folks who are savvy with the command-line.

No, use a chromium derived browser, like https://github.com/win32ss/supermium.

Or use firefox, it will always support adblockers.

No kidding, thanks but I do use Firefox. As for Chrome, the writing is on the wall.

It's not so shiny any longer.
