Fear of this delayed my starting work on Browser Routr; let's me intercept clicks to send some sites to other browser.
In hindsight I don't think I need Manifest v2 on Chrome. Though I do need it on Firefox because of some quirks in their navigation API. And it's possible the nav APIs in Chrome or other Chromium browsers may need it someday, so still a loss IMO.
Native messaging allows modern web extensions to talk to a pre-authorized desktop app. That's what my competitors and I do. There are also some custom scheme tricks, though they would require rewriting markup IIRC.

Seems like a useful extension! How do you get different browsers to open with an extension?
