Any recent statements from Brave and Vivaldi creators about what they are planning to do with Manifest V3 and its restrictions for ad blockers?
- rasz 4y agoVivaldi will try to keep V2 functionality as long as its in codebase, meanwhile implementing own (lame static, pretty much 100% same thing V3 offers) adblocker.
- HWR_14 4y agoIs there any reason to not just revert the changes that remove it from the codebase? Obviously maintenance had a cost, but would their be much bitrot?
- rasz 4y agoVivaldi cant afford it. Microsoft could easily maintain V2 indefinitely, but dont want to. Brave no idea. Opera is all a big scam nowadays.
- HWR_14 4y agoI mean, my question is what the real cost is. It's a standard that's fixed. Are there big Chromium rearchitectures that make v2 hard to keep?
- soundnote 4y agoBrave's adblocker is not an extension so it doesn't care. It also doesn't care about the Chromium API limitations snd does CNAME uncloaking like uBO on Firefox.
