Well we'll see in a year when Google completely shut mv2 support. Until then it's very easy to speak, especially when you have very few market share and everything to gain with marketing stunt and not much to lose.
- troymc 2y agoOpera already does ad blocking before you add any extensions, so the manifest v3 thing is a bit of a red herring.
- wruza 2y agoDoesn’t it do that because chrome still has the corresponding api? How exactly will chrome deny chrome-based browsers of ad blocking (aka ending mv2 support in marketing speech)? The same applies to opera either way.
- lxgr 2y agoI wouldn't be surprised if Opera's built-in ad blocking were internally implemented as a web extension. In any case, we'll see once Chrome drops Manifest V2; until then, promises of ongoing support are very cheap.
