Browsers based on chromium do not have to follow exactly what the main branch is doing.
If they want to keep supporting MV2 or support different rules for MV3, they can. Albeit it’s a bit cumbersome.
It depends. It will not affect many of them until 2025 when enterprise support for v2 ends and by then other arrangements and fixes might be. Brave in particular I would not worry yet.
Does this apply to chromium browsers too?
Yes. In the article it links to a blog post made by chromium.

Nope. Won’t happen to those having inbuillt ad-blocker, as those are not extension and thus aren’t affected by MV3.
