I cannot really be happy about being on Librewolf, because I am very afraid Firefox might eventually ditch MV2 as well. Mozilla is dependent on Google and is known for questionable choices, so...
-
Firefox supports MV3, with some tweaks such as the WebRequest limitations added by Google's MV3 being removed from the Firefox implementation. I don't think they will remove it
-
Google forcing Firefox to do such a move sounds very anti-competitive. I don't know if that would ever happen.
-
How do they force them? Just curious so asking
-
Google pays Firefox hundreds of millions of dollars a year to be their default search engine. In 2021, this accounted for 83% of Mozilla's revenue.
-
Google bankrolls Firefox basically.
-
They don't! Mozilla "by themselves" just "agrees" that MV2 is obsolete because they "prioritize security".

Would there likely be a fork at that point for those that wish to continue?
-
This would be the same problem as in Chromium - you theoretically can, but in practice maintaining it with zero support from the original company would get increasingly hard.
