The end of manifest v2 is also nigh, less than a week away. It’s all just coming crashing down this year.

I’m ootl on this and after a brief google search it seems like a big thing to be ootl on. What are some of the consequences of v2 ending?

The consequences of v2 ending is that you should use a non-Chromium-based browser, like Firefox or one of it’s forks.

Or alternatively consider Chromium forks that don't harass the user, like ungoogled-chromium -- which apparently has been patching in support for V2 for a while.

It peeves me a lot that the only options we're showing everyone are either Chromium or Firefox. It's not like Mozilla's a perfect little angel, anyways.
