Google's "Manifest 3" rules, vs. ad blocking, in Ars Technica.[1] Did the JSON formatter with ads get kicked out of the extension store yet?

Manifest 3 explicitly enables ad blocking through the declarativeNetRequest API. It's trivial to do so, and many blockers exist in the Chrome Web Store.

Everybody freaked out about Manifest v3, but I'm running Chrome + uBlock and still not seeing any ads. Seems like a nothingburger to me.

  Water is merely 49C, said the frog. It's not even 100C. I'll stay. Google really is slow boiling Internet until everyone forgets you can have stuff without ads.

ublock origin light is featured in the chrome web store.
