You can easily branch off from before manifest v3, and some browsers do. The problem with manifest v3 is that most users do not care. But let's say chromium loses its ability to use tabs, you can bet it gets rolled back before it reaches news media.

Except now you have to maintain a branch that's missing everything after that release upstream.

And that's exactly what is happening to some chromium-based browsers.

Yeah you can probably do periodic merge or rebase etc. But then you have the fun of merge conflicts
