They've implemented V3. What they're not doing is removing support for V2, so plugins that want the full access can do so.

Is there a public page/link which mentions that they're not removing V2 support? Please share. Thanks.

All I can find is:

We have not yet set a deprecation date for Manifest v2 but expect it to be supported for at least one year after Manifest v3 becomes stable in the release channel.

So they will eventually remove it sooner than later.

On the same page: "We will support blocking webRequest until there’s a better solution which covers all use cases we consider important, since DNR as currently implemented by Chrome does not yet meet the needs of extension developers."
