Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?
yes, it will.
whether or not a 'fully functional' and fully-featured content blocker remains available for third-party browsers that use chromium as their core will depend on those third-parties and what they add, or add back, to their own releases to support those kinds of browser extensions.

Yet another reason to use Brave, which has better native ad block than any of the other browsers.

Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!
Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser
This will incentivize businesses to only support chrome
I'm fine with not supporting them then.
Who cares... Inbuilt adblockers are not affected by MV3.
On desktop, either use:
- LibreWolf (FireFox); uBlock Origin is installed by default.
- Vivaldi browser (Chromium); has a native ad blocker but obviously supports extensions, and will try supporting manifest V2 as long as possible—“as long as Chromium core supports Extension Manifest v2”. Also, why the “not completely open source” criticism is unwarranted.
On Android:
Looks like I'm going to use my work laptop browser a lot less.
