How so? They can support Manifest v2 and v3 simultaneously. It's a bit harder for their old add-on system since that add-on system had more hooks into the browser, but v3 is largely just a restriction, so there won't be much conflict there.

Ah, if it’s easy to just maintain both, and v3 is largely backwards compatible then I’m mistaken on how divergent v3 is.

Defanged/declawed v3 is a weird thing to have exist. It’s a bummer that Chrome got to set the standard. And then they took that and restricted things. This isn’t a healthy standard.

If FF ever drops V3, it'll be because they have extensions to bring parity to V2. There is maintenance overhead, but I doubt it's anywhere close to the old add-on vs V2 differences.
