Aren't these v2 extensions being removed from Chrome's store? If so, are the alternatives based on Chromium running their own store?

Yeah that's the problem. I used to be on Brave but having to download v2-only extensions[1] manually from each developer's website was a pain. I am on a Firefox-based browser now and extensions are synced across all my computers and it just works.

[1] while pre-existing v2 extensions are still on the store at least for now (e.g. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal... ) newer ones haven't been able to be added to the store for a long time already, e.g. see https://libredirect.github.io/faq.html#chrome_web_store
