I have all major browsers installed (for dev testing). I mainly use Firefox and I hope they won't follow Chrome here. Google says manifest v3 provides security.

I have all major browsers installed (for dev testing). I mainly use Firefox and I hope they won't follow Chrome here. Google says manifest v3 provides security. I think that is a blatant lie. You can allow blocking request for addons. The threat from malicious pages is greater than from malicious addons. And if your plugins are indeed malicious, you have larger concerns at hand anyway.

Firefox have announced [0] that they will be walking the middle road. They will implement the new manifest-v3 but they will also keep the current `webRequest` API. Brave said they will also *try* to do the same, but since they have their own baked-in ad-blocker that might not be necessary. > After discussing this with several content blocking extension developers, we have decided to implement DNR (declarativeNetRequest) and continue maintaining support for blocking webRequest.
