Brave is a google chromium soft fork browser. Their built-in adblocker works through both DNS blocking and MV2 WebRequest blocking elements. Neither will work when they update to MV3.
They could stay on an old version of google chromium and do a hard fork. However, that would bring out cries of "old browser, out of date" by its nay-sayers. They could also switch browser "engine" (not back to their original firefox one, since that will also be affected by MV3), but there's not much competition there.. FF is basically chromium-lite today. There is Pale Moon and Basilisk though. Powered by Goanna, instead of Gecko (firefox) or blink (chromium). There's also Web Kit (Safari), but it's what blink (chromium) forked off of..
Opera is Chinese owned and backed by the CCP, plus it's Closed Source and spies on you. Arc is a MacOS chromium browser firstly.. Besides, like I said, hard forking a google chromium browser isn't going to go down well, at all. Cries of "obsolete", and "unsecure" will abound. They'd also still be reliant on google web extensions.. Rooting out google from browsers today would mean breaking up all their internet related avenues. Ads, fonts, analytics, tag manager, web rtc, webgl, web extensions, web assembly, web components, widewine, safe browsing, irregexp, geo location, Skia, search, android, and chromium.
Keep on as they are. DNS blocking and MV3 compliant "declarativeNetRequest" instead of "webrequest". Almost every other browser will be similarly affected, so it'll be "par for the course/just the way it is".. sadly.

Couldn’t Brave update the browser to handle the MV3 update? Or will this require a browser they build from scratch?
