You need the webRequest API (that uBO Full is using) from manifest v2 to be able to read the traffic. Without it, you can just block/allow based on rules.
Chrome is deprecating it with v3, Firefox supposedly no.
- sebzim4500 3y agoUnless I'm misunderstanding the docs, the webRequest permission isn't going anywhere, just the webRequestBlocking one. So it doesn't sound like there has been any security win here.
- npace12 3y agoYeah, I think you're correct. The security win is that you can block without needing the permissions for webRequest which are "can read and modify everything you do"
