V3 has some utterly/unnecessarily complicated shite going on, like offscreen documents, and I think it will get worse as time progresses. Google really needs some bludgeoning.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoI have not kept up -what is the steel man argument for V3? Presumably Google has a rationale other than “ad blockers are bad for business”
- contravariant 2y agoAd blocker-wise I think the best argument is that internalising the traffic blocking can be made a lot more efficient than putting a javascript interpreter in between. The counter argument is that ad-blocking is an arms-race and the only reason a subset of traffic blocking methods is going to work at all is because there isn't a big enough incentive yet. Other than that the arguments in favour of V3 are going to be about the same as for any API update. My guess is a few extra APIs and more granular permissions.
