Does this also apply to Chrome-based browsers like Arc or Brave? Could they keep manifest v2 around on their own without relying on Google here?

Edit: I've googled around and it seems that yes, this would apply to all Chromium-based browsers, and all the clones are planning to solve the problem by rolling out their own adblocking, either native or ManifestV3-based.

This does not affect Brave entirely. It will affect MV2 extensions on Brave generally speaking, but it will not affect Brave's shields that are built in. See my response to another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41181701

It will apply to all the other Chromium based browsers that are wrappers and not forks.
