I don't see why the major blocking apps couldn't migrate to the Windows Store. M$ must have the ability to update it to boost their browser user share and now it has an incentive. And I understand that Chromium is open-source and the fork browsers can implement their own features. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I may be lacking knowledge of how Chromium browsers function. This actually could give Brave, Edge a boost in the race to take some G's current market share. G clearly doesn't care to protect its own Web Store so why would it care about malware via iframes, etc.? It's all about the $$$ for them.
Each chromium based browser can indeed implement their own features and I hope your right that this can be a boost for Brave, Edge, and others.
I meant that I don't think that they will make more different versions of the same extension.
The one in chrome store works on all chromium based browsers.
So if they have to limit its features for chrome that probably means the features will be limited in all chromium based browsers.
In the near future, there will be only 2 types of browsers: Firefox based or chromium based.
We will all have to migrate to Firefox or use Brave (thanks

It's worth noting that our Brave Shields (ad blocker) is not an extension; it is natively implemented. So extension API changes leave our shields unaffected.
Edit: We can always remove any code or update we don't like from the Chromium base we use. So even if this didn't just affect extensions but something deeper, we could just exclude it.
