    why browsers other than the ones that are Chrome based are forced to adopt Manifest v3?

    Then the only browser left is Firefox. Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and a long etc are all Chromium based.

    There is also Safari, but Safari does not support WebExtensions in the first place so it does not apply here.

      Safari has supported mv2 extensions for years and recently added mv3 support.

      However it never supported WebRequest blocking.
