Bad research. Brave and Vivaldi will continue the support for MV2 extension, the CEO of Brave said they will continue the support even if they have to host the code themself.
Neither has its own extension repository, so maintaining support enables side loading but isn’t all that useful for normal people or those who want their extensions to be up to date.
Brave shields work better than the built-in protection in Vivaldi, so it’s less of an issue there but still frustrating.

Vivaldi has said they will as long as the code is in Chromium, and are planning on it going away by June of next year.
No idea about Brave, I don’t use it and never will.
This did give me the motivation to switch to back to Firefox, and later possibly Librewolf though, so thanks Google.
