Most (real world, not HN) users don't really notice any difference between MV2 and MV3 based extensions.

  MV3 won't (and will not) block Youtube ads properly. There's the entire point of removing MV2.

    Is that actually true? I've never looked into the API differences or how YouTube ads actually work, but I'm using a current Google Chrome version on MacOS, with uBlock Origin Lite and SponsorBlock, and I'm watching YouTube with no ads as far as I can tell (logged in, not subscribed to Premium). Is that supposed to be impossible now?

    I just tested Chromium with uBlock Origin Lite (default settings, aka "Optimal") and had no issue blocking YouTube ads.

    You say that like MV2 version didn't need extensive workarounds to block YT ads.
    • maleldil 4mo ago
      MV2 makes those workarounds possible in the first place, which MV3 doesn't.

    It does.
