Wishful thinking, I guess.
"They are deprecating the webRequest API form Chromium source code itself. In Chrome Enterprise version they will inject the full API itself."
Deprecating, yes. Removing it entirely, and "re-injecting the full API itself" in Enterprise sounds pretty far-fetched and ridiculous to me, but I haven't seen any definitive explanation as of yet anyway, so I guess anything's possible.
Don't get me wrong, if they manage to impose this stupidity on all Chromium forks, I will reluctantly switch to Firefox as well. I much prefer Chromium, so I hope it doesn't come to that.
@patrickdrd The statement I read from Mozilla reads:
"We are watching Chrome’s proposals for manifest v3. We do anticipate that we will adopt some of their proposals to maintain compatibility, which we believe will benefit Firefox developers and users. However, we are not committing to implement all aspects of manifest v3, and in fact, we already depart from manifest v2 in several areas where we think it makes sense."
If you think Mozilla won't be looking to cash in, in terms of being "the adblocking browser" like they used to be back in the day, I think they know they'd be crazy not to.
