If Mozilla drops Manifest v2 I might as well switch to a chrome variant (not brave).

I don’t want a web monoculture but it might as well be if Mozilla just copies chrome at every step.

Reading this article makes it seem like they are doubling down on not dropping MV2, and instead maintaining both manifest versions so that they can retain maximum compatibility and options for the user.

Not supporting MV3 at all would likely hurt them a lot in the long run, and adding support for it to the existing MV2 only opens up more options for addon devs.
