I just wanted to call out the ending of the blog post: > The Chrome Web Store will start accepting Manifest V3 extensions mid-January when Chrome 88 reaches stable. While there is not an exact date for removing support for Manifest V2 extensions, developers can expect the migration period to last at least a year from when Manifest V3 lands in the stable channel. This means that we'll have at least a year where Manifest V2 extensions will still work. Hopefully by the end of that period there will be a good selection of Manifest v3 compatible ad blockers.

You cant be a good privacy/adblocker extension using V3. Want to strip umt tracking parameters from loaded URLs? cant do it under V3. Want to disable JS on a page? cant do under V3. Want to spoof your own User Agent? you know the drill.

  Why can't the RedirectByRegEx declarative action be used to "strip umt tracking parameters"? That sounds very much like something you can do with that declarative action type. User agent spoofing also sounds like the sort of thing one could use the SetRequestHeader declarative action for. As for disabling JavaScript, yeah declarativeWebRequest appears to lack the ability to do that.
