Chrome’s Manifest V3, and its changes for ad blocking, are coming real soon
Chrome is warning users that their extension makers need to update soon.
Reminder #891,814 to stop using Chrome and Chromium browsers and to stop supporting Google's web monopoly.
Why Chromium based browsers? I understand using Chrome might help Google, but how does using other browsers based on Chromium help them? By increasing market share?
Hopefully Firefox won't follow.
Firefox currently has no plans to drop support for manifest V2. It also supports the WebRequest API in V3, so ad blocking would continue to work if they do discontinue V2.
Awesome!
The only silver lining was they were also going to disable third party cookies, but they nixed that idea and kept this one. I’m done rooting for chrome.
They were gonna axe the cookies in return for a generalized profile in your browser or something.
This can be problem for Firefox and Chromium based Browsers, too. If the Website decides that Manifest v3 is mandatory to visit their site, they can block any access from Browsers with v2 running in the background easier than before.
