  "Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension" really doesn't tell a general audience what is happening here. No wonder it gained little notice.

    The current title is a lot better.

      You mean the title of this post? It's much worse, in my opinion - plenty of strong ad blockers run on MV3. Even the developer of uBlock Origin (Lite) seems to have conceded that the MV3 approach is less resource intensive and didn't require sacrificing any of the features that 99.9% of users use.

        Do you have a source for this ?
      • neves 5mo ago
        MV2 and MV3 is completely uninteresting for me. But you'll have to take my advblocker from my dead cold hands

    Neither does MV3 close the door on ad blockers. This title seems like gigantic clickbait.

    There have been quite a few threads about it recently - unfortunately I don't have time to dig up links at the moment. (also, 450+ comments is not little notice!)

      Previous link is referenced in this submission as a source, and was updated with the same info that was included in this submission. Same discussion.

      For an abuse of monopoly power this big, I would argue that only getting ~400 upvotes is indeed little notice.
