Probably, or it'll be nerfed to fuck. I'm sure someone will make a fork off Chromium and leave it enabled.

Browser builders, this is your cue: if advertising is not your business, offer an ad blocker. Firefox became popular (in my personal experience) because it came with a popup blocker by default.

That's exactly what Brave is doing. Chromium fork with a built-in native adblocker that doesn't depend on MV2 at all, and plans to continue supporting MV2 even when it is removed from Chromium entirely.

Yeah. Firefox should ship with uBlock Origin by default too. They're almost doing that on mobile since uBlock Origin is one of few allowed extensions.
