Two very interesting points from the article:
First, Google lied (or, at the very least, strongly bent the truth) about the performance impact of content blockers in order to push the Manifest V3 API[1].
Second, in February 2019, Google promised that the WebRequest API was not going to be "fully" removed, yet went ahead and did it anyway - another lie/strong bending of the truth.
