Chrome's Manifest V3 transition is here. First up are warnings for any V2 extensions.

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven’t already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

    What does google expect users to do once they realize they get better extensions with firefox?

    If that happens en masse, which is extremely unlikely, Google can just pull its funding for Mozilla and cripple them

    The entire sector is fucked because of lack of regulation
