"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.

"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.
- neves 4mo agoThe current title is a lot better.
- rafram 4mo agoYou 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.
- deafpolygon 4mo agoDo you have a source for this ?
- neves 4mo agoMV2 and MV3 is completely uninteresting for me. But you'll have to take my advblocker from my dead cold hands
- bcye 4mo agoNeither does MV3 close the door on ad blockers. This title seems like gigantic clickbait.
- dang 4mo agoThere 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!)
- ChrisArchitect 4mo agoPrevious link is referenced in this submission as a source, and was updated with the same info that was included in this submission. Same discussion.
- GeekyBear 4mo agoFor an abuse of monopoly power this big, I would argue that only getting ~400 upvotes is indeed little notice.
