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.

    I’m really curious about why you feel that Apple is somehow less shady than Mozilla?

      Different incentives. Apple makes privacy a selling point, and I’m the one paying. Who’s paying for Chrome and Firefox?

        Ah right yeah I understand, thanks for explaining. I used to use Safari a lot more on Mac but I stopped recently and switched to Firefox because some websites just wouldn’t work in Safari. :/
