Opera 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.
