Please don't forget the part developers played in this by enabling Chrome/Google to become so very dominant.

  And developers can play a part in reversing that. It seems like it might already be happening: | month | Chrome | Firefox | Safari | | -- | -- | -- | -- | | Jan '25 | -1.29 | +0.07 | +0.84 | | Feb '25 | -0.75 | +0.08 | +0.03 | Note: Edge is also gaining. They use Chromium but their stance on Manifest v3 is unclear to me. So far they don't seem to have any plans to deprecate v2 support I know these numbers seem tiny, but if these trends were to continue, Chrome could be under 50% marketshare by June 2026 and overtaken by the end of 2027

    Microsoft intend to deprecate V2 and move fully to V3 basically as soon as they can, pretty much in lockstep with Google: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-...

      Thanks for the link. Definitely sad to hear

    Safari is even worse at ad blocking, basically ManifestV3 with fewer rules, so this is moving in the wrong direction.
