There are too many plugins that need access to all my data on all websites. Doesn't matter that it's open source, I'm not going to review every update of every plugin. Why can't I sandbox a plugin to a whitelist of domains?

On Safari at least, you can configure it to ask whether you want to run an extension on each domain.

Wasn't that the whole point of manifest v3? Honestly Manifest v3 was contentious because it essentially nerfed adblockers completely -- and for that reason I really despise it. But it sounds like exactly what you're asking for. What is your alternative though? Surely things like this would need to access basically every website in order to be useful, and more-so on websites you'd never visited before. You can always use something like chrome/firefox profiles which enable different plugins for different uses if that makes you feel safer.

  Seems like a poor excuse for v3. Changing the permissions should be a browser side thing not something that requires an update on the extension side. E.g. You can have extensions always ask for the max permissions needed, as long as the users can go in and un-permit stuff as needed. No need to change any aspect of the existing extension system... > Surely things like this would need to access basically every website in order to be useful, and more-so on websites you'd never visited before. Probably some kind of blacklist instead. E.g. This extension cannot run on these websites. We already have a more basic version of this with the allow running incognito option.

  Just mentioning that FF will allow V3 manifest (without the blocker nerf, not sure if it already happened).

if you're already using uBlock Origin just enable the EasyList Cookies filter and you'll never see a cookie popup again.
