Security. Extensions can't pull it remote scripts and execute them on a web page. Everything has to be in the extension so you know exactly what it is doing. All the browsers will switch to manifest v3, they all testing it now including Firefox.
- josephcsible 2y agoThat's Google's fake reason, but it's obvious that their real reason was that Manifest v2 let ad blockers work too well.
- adrr 2y agoWhy is Firefox switching to it? https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/ https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest...
- pacifika 2y agoThat page only says they are supporting it, not dropping support for it?
- josephcsible 2y agoAdding support for Manifest v3 is fine and not an issue for ad blockers. The issue for ad blockers is removing support for Manifest v2, which AFAIK Firefox has no plans to do.
- wtallis 2y agoTheir crippling of ad blockers goes well beyond merely preventing ad blockers from downloading dynamic rulesets. The changes cannot all be justified by security.
