There's no clear answer in the article what will happen when chromium 140 version will reach Opera?
It's obvious that currently it's possible to use it because Opera is 3 versions behind actual chrome version.
Even 140 Chrome version still allows using MV2 using different workarounds.
foreseeable future means 2-3 months and then as long as the same workaround will be working in Opera?In Edge 140 it works currently by default, without extra steps.

Opera-Security Opera last edited by@andrew84: Hello! The information in the article also covers Chromium version 140. As mentioned in the article, the team will continue working on this for as long as it is technically reasonable for us to do so.

pilis00 last edited by pilis00It was kinda normal to expect that you will end the MV2 support at one point, since it's very costly to repatch every Chromium version back with MV2, even Brave said that they will try to do it as long as they can.
However, at the same time, you need to improve your adblocker a lot. Include the uBO lists, they are open source, do it like how Brave does, even Vivaldi said they will start to add their support as well. uBO's miss then won't be felt since its basically built in into the browser indirectly.
Please, also, try to add better support for uBO's filters in the Opera Mobile app, or even let us install addons.
