Breaking all adblockers for good, ensuring revenue. Firefox has almost no marketshare so it’s more or less irrelevant.

Next steps are to break the web more and more for non-chromium browsers. Already many sites that don’t work well with FF/Safari.
There will be reasonable reasons to do that (eg protect the kids) but the end result will be 1 browser dominance and ads tattooed into your eyeballs - mark my words!!1
- Wowfunhappy 2y ago> Next steps are to break the web more and more for non-chromium browsers What stops people from switching to Brave, or some light fork that's basically "Chromium + Manifest V2"? Google would need something akin to Web Attestation. And yes they did try that—so if you're going to put your conspiracy hat on I'd direct your attention there.
- cyanydeez 2y agoThe ecosystem for V2 plugins will die when Chrome no longer supports them. Stagnation is the plan, not fullfrontal assault. Programmers tend to want people using their products more than they want anything else.
