"Begin disabling installed extensions still using Manifest V2 in Chrome stable"

I wish some brave enough (no relation to Brave) soul patched Blink so it became possible to delegate URL blocking decisions to an external process via some sort of IPC. In goes a full URL and maybe an opaque session ID so some state may be tracked, out goes a boolean value. Assume all are allowed if this process cannot be connected to.

You can already do this with a MITM proxy, and it works in all browsers.

Bypassing pinned certs is always going pass attention? (or whatever deliberately harder to lookup term they make up?)

I thought this was a cool idea, so I looked around for existing implementations and found https://github.com/barre/privaxy

Been a while since the last commit, so I'm not sure if it's maintained, but I might try adding it (or something similar) to my pihole.
