I believe those are both Chromium, right? I'm suspicious that when manifest v2 support ends in Chromium it will kill ad blockers across the Chromium market.
Cromite uses some built-in adblocker based off ABP and doesn't have extensions
I doubt specific type of extensions will be killed in Chromium. Even uBlock Origin exists as a Lite version with no possibility of configuration, but allows proper adblocking.
