Because that's off topic? I'm tired of seeing every single thread about MV3 turn into "Switch to Firefox". Yes, we know about that obvious solution, it's been shouted ad nauseum, I'm interested to see and hear about how ad blockers will work on MV3, not the existing alternative we've already heard about a billion times. Just look at this very thread, every other comment is just about Firefox and not the content of the post itself.

Sure, I'm "preaching to the quior" here, but given Firefox's current market share, I'm not sure we've gotten the word out much beyond our circle. The article mentioned Safari a couple of times, I don't see why the fact that Firefox will support both V2 and V3 indefinitely doesn't deserve a single mention. Moreover, manifest V3 was essentially a massive middle finger from Google to everyone else (except advertisers), and it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there.

  Sorry, I don't usually correct people on the internet, but I thought this one was funny. It's spelled "choir".

    If I was gonna start a chorus for LGBTI singers I reckon I'd call it a "Quoir"!

    LOL, whoops. Not sure where I came up with that spelling.

Firefox is the obvious solution to this problem, as you've pointed out. You shouldn't be upset that it's discussed in relation to this.
