>They are still accepting proposals V3 is finalized. And while they say they accept proposals for future changes, they already did not accept or even consider proposals in the timeline leading to V3. >changes aren't being forced until 2023 They pushed the timeline back, because of all the push back they got. And also, the deadline for new extensions using V2 is Jan 2022, so a few months from now. So >but there is still a lot of time for the new API to be revised and improve on the features you mention. Not true either, you have until Jan 2022, a few months from now, to spec and implement and roll out such a revised or new API. This is not going to happen. They had enough time to do all that when the issues were first raised, but didn't. They had enough time to do all this when the first serious proposals for better solutions were made, but they didn't. Why at this point I am wondering: will they ever? Sure, the already established extensions will get a little bit of a longer grace period where things would theoretically happen. That doesn't help you if you want to create something new, tho. >You can even make the suggestions yourself or work on the code to fix it. Have you ever tried to get code into chrome(ium)? That's hard enough by itself. Now try to get code in that affects something google considers important... and they consider this important at least now, for the mere fact it was "news". Trying to work with them is what gorhill did, and a lot of other people too, before he figured out they were set on going the cripple-adblockers route and sounded the alarms.
