Have any of the Chromium forks committed to maintain MV2 into the future? Having functioning extensions while maintaining the other features that people like from the browser could help pull some marketshare from Google Chrome. Probably just dreaming though...

None that I'm aware of but Firefox has committed to maintaining the more powerful MV2 content blocking APIs that Google is removing.

Brave has committed to MV2 but they will need their own store first because the chrome web store is kicking out MV2 extensions. So far, they don’t have their own store.

They have explicitly not committed: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1534905779630661633

> We could fork them back in at higher maintenance cost. No point in speculating — I don’t write checks of unknown amount and sign them, and Google looks likely to keep V2 support for a year (thanks be to “enterprise”).

Vivaldi has previously promised to find an alternative for v3, but they left it in vague words and haven’t announced an update for this yet. https://vivaldi.com/blog/chromium-ad-blockers-choice/
