    I assume with chromium being open source that there will be an alternative compiled version without this nonsense?

        They are not exactly forks. They still get the upstream chromium changes into their code base. So they will all lose manifest v2 when the core disappears from chromium.

        They are more like downstream branches. It is possible they will do the gymnastics to keep manifest v2 but it’s not guaranteed
