I pointed this out in a thread yesterday too, but the whole point is that you will no longer need to grant "see all my requests" permissions to ad blockers. In fact, due to the removal of the old blocking API, if an ad blocker asks for such permissions it's highly suspicious.
- tyingq 5y agoI imagine ad blockers also use content scripts for things like blocking ads based on images that are known IAB sizes. In that case, they have another avenue to watch requests. I'd give the privacy angle more credence if they were really locking down everything. They aren't, because extensions would then be of very limited use.
