I missed this transition phase and don't know what the changes are.
Why does Google mention only ad related addons in their blog post?
Another comment here posted some previous headlines like "Manifest V3 Is Deceitful and Threatening" which give a clue to the direction I guess.
What are Google's intenions with Manifest v3?
- bakugo 2y ago> Why does Google mention only ad related addons in their blog post? Because the main goal of the transition to V3 is to effectively kill adblockers.
- dualogy 2y agoWell at least the techie crowd can still use /etc/hosts (or the equivs on Mac/Win) which, if frequently-enough (weekly, biweekly, even monthly is enough) updated with the https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts (or similar other projects if they exist), seems to "block" ads sufficiently well (no in-page DOM node removals of course, just network-unreachable image/script/iframe/popup URLs).
- skrause 2y agoEven Manifest V3 ad blockers are still a lot more powerful than DNS based blocking.
