Stop using Chrome, it is adware at this point. Use Firefox or if that's too different, use ~~Brave~~ or Edge or a different chromium offshoot that isn't going to support manifest v3.
Weird that you tell people not to use Chrome because it’s adware but suggest Brave which is a crypto miner.
Brave has built-in wallet support and such, but I don't think it does any mining, does it? It just has its own opt-in ad system to pays out in crypto and is also owned by a turd.
Being owned by a turd is reason enough not to use it.
I use tons of software developed by people with whom I would probably disagree on politics.
Rejecting a program because one of the developers said something you didn't like is just childish.
That entirely depends on if there's an equivalent developed by not an asshole.
It's not childish it's acting according to principles and being consistent.
