I have no clue what Manifest V3 is, and more importantly, why Mozilla or anyone except Chrome and Chrome extension developers need to care.
It sounds like it is the extension API and process manager for Chrome. In what ways would an end user or website owner notice or care about this change, other than their extensions not working? How does it change default behavior?
- DangitBobby 4y agoIt gives extension developers less control and flexibility, making some features more difficult or simply impossible. Notably, it nerfs functionality that ad blockers rely on, so the suspicion is that's pretty much the only reason the change is being made. This will impact you because your ad blocker will suddenly not do as good a job blocking ads, or be more cumbersome to use. The upside is some poorly behaved extensions will have less impact on browser performance.
