The Chrome Extensions support is the interesting part here. That's often the dealbreaker for using mobile devices as computer replacements.

Google's had this weird situation where Android and ChromeOS overlap more every year. At some point maintaining two operating systems with converging feature sets seems wasteful.

My guess: ChromeOS probably survives for the education market where manageability matters more than capabilities. But for consumers? Android on a big screen with keyboard and mouse might just be good enough.

It will not survive. No point in maintaining both. Just costs money. Device management for mobile phones is also a huge point.

My educated guess: tablet/laptop hybrids with Android OS. Not that Apple has huge success with the same move

Any extensions that do something really "interesting" will be disallowed, cf. Manifest V3.

I'm running AdGuard in Chromium right now. I don't see any ads, even on YouTube. May I ask what did you mean?

Not that I don't think MV3 is limited, but.. we're comparing this against MV2, right? It was already missing basic functionality like full filtering of http responses, I remember a bug about not seeing POST bodies being open for 10+ years..
