How does MV3 affect content script injection? I looked a bit more into how uBO does xhr-content based filtering (like it uses to block YT ads) and it appears to shim the fetch() method. Would this approach still work in a MV3 world? And if it does still work, doesn't this negate any supposed security/privacy benefits of the declarative model?
- simcop2387 3y agoMy understanding is thay it doesn[t work in mv3, precisely bevause of that security issue.

- simcop2387 3y agoI don't think there is personally, but how do you reliably keep track that it was the user that made that choice, and not some installer on the machine? I.e. Ol' McDonald AntiVirus installs an extension for scanning that marks the extension as approved like that, and then updates to also use it to inject their own ads for other security products.
