Are Manifest V2 extensions going to be unusable in Avast Secure Browser as well? Or is there any decision to continue supporting Manifest V2 like Brave did?

Both Brave and Chrome are built on the open-source Chromium browser engine

So, if this V2 add-on redundancy is built into the Chromium code underlying the Browser, then I would have though all Chromium based browsers would be impacted. So I don't know how Brave is achieving this or if Avast Secure Browser (ASB) could or would go down that path of having two different versions of ASB. 

If Brave had its own add-ons download area - this would be possible I guess - though I'm not using ASB or Brave browsers so I can't speak from personal experience.  I was reading something about this Google making V2 apps redundant) in Computer Active recently.

Edit:  I did a search, don't know if that may be useful - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=manifest+V2+vs+V3+add-ons
