"Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension" really doesn't tell a general audience what is happening here. No wonder it gained little notice.

The current title is a lot better.

Will Brave, which is based in Chromium, still block ads? Since they are changing Chromium, I don't think so.

Pretty sure Brave shields isn't based on an extension API so it shouldn't be affected.

Have people actually noticed worse performance from uBlock Origin lite?

This article isn't nuanced enough. Ad blockers will continue to work.

Neither does MV3 close the door on ad blockers. This title seems like gigantic clickbait.
