Nope, no progression. The uBlock Origin maintainer has explicitly stated that in current form it will kill the extension. The Chrome team closed the issue with no response to his concerns, if you're wondering where their intentions are (obviously they intend to kill ad-blocking).
- SquareWheel 6y agoIt's expected to be trivial to block ads in Manifest v3. The API is a more powerful version of Safari's API which also allows adblocking. uBlock Origin may not be willing to change, but other adblockers will fill that niche.
- marcthe12 6y agoBasically it still does all capabilities needed by the extentions.
- frongpik 6y agoNo, that's a lie. Manifest v3 is carefully designed to allow spying, but prevent blocking.
- SquareWheel 6y agoCan you substantiate that claim? What can't be effectively blocked, and how was it "carefully designed" to allow spying?

- SquareWheel 6y agoI've seen this issue report before. It doesn't substantiate the earlier claims made though. Particularly as these comments predate the improvements made to declarativeNetRequest since this issue was posted.
