yes but:
"What are we doing differently in Firefox?
WebRequest
One of the most controversial changes of Chrome’s MV3 approach is the removal of blocking WebRequest, which provides a level of power and flexibility that is critical to enabling advanced privacy and content blocking features. Unfortunately, that power has also been used to harm users in a variety of ways. Chrome’s solution in MV3 was to define a more narrowly scoped API (declarativeNetRequest) as a replacement. However, this will limit the capabilities of certain types of privacy extensions without adequate replacement.
Mozilla will maintain support for blocking WebRequest in MV3. To maximize compatibility with other browsers, we will also ship support for declarativeNetRequest. We will continue to work with content blockers and other key consumers of this API to identify current and future alternatives where appropriate. Content blocking is one of the most important use cases for extensions, and we are committed to ensuring that Firefox users have access to the best privacy tools available."

- stranded22 3y agoExcellent, thank you
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agofirefox always copies chrome so they will drop it eventually. Telemetry will say "few people use it" so some asshole(s) will remove it.
- kome 3y agoat this point people use firefox to access to the full power of ublock origins, and that's not gonna change. trust me bro :)
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y ago"Is this an out of season april fool's joke?" Seriously, are you trying to kid me?
- _Algernon_ 3y agoJust like they promised to reimplement replacements for XUL extensions almost a decade ago. Still waiting for feature parity.
- zlg_codes 3y agoThis event still pisses me off. WebExtensions are straight worse than the XUL we had before. I wish Mozilla would stand up for their vision of the Web instead of being Google's controlled opposition.
