Yes. But adding back in Manifest v2 isn't. Even MSFT claims that it's too much work for them.

IIUC, the only problem with Mv3 is that they disabled the WebRequest API. A fork of Chromium that solves this problem will just have to re-enable the WebRequest API, which seems doable.

Isn't the lack of a WebRequest API one of the primary changes in Manifest v3?

It's apparently quite possible to keep supporting the WebRequest API in Mv3, since Firefox is doing just that.

Firefox is still supporting Mv2 though? I thought FF just translated Mv3 to Mv2
