This list only applies to Chrome, so it's completely irrelevant when talking about Firefox.

How are correlation or orthogonality binary conditions? Things can be almost (but not entirely) unrelated to other things as well.

Not really, but this FAQ, like almost all articles published on MV3, conflates MV3 the specification with Chrome's MV3 implementation . (FWIW, I'm almost certain that this is either due to sloppy/imprecise writing or inten

Again, no. MV3 (the specification) does not do anything to ad blocking. Chrome's implementation of MV3 does. For precision, I should have said "significantly worse ad blocking", not exaggerated as "no more ad blocking&

The global consensus on which type is safer is not nearly as clear as you confidently make it out to be. A lot of things need to be true for a curbside bike path to be safer than a roadside one, most importantly protection against dooring a

by lxgr 6mo ago
Bike lanes on a curb are significantly more dangerous due to turning car drivers often not seeing them (due to parked cars in the way) or interpreting them as “just a sidewalk” and not properly looking for cyclists.

So you’re familiar with everybody’s web browsing? Impressive!
639.
by lxgr 6mo ago
Hm, you mean basically to edit all HTML, CSS etc. just in time? This seems significantly harder (concepts spread over files being loaded in parallel or being partially cached etc) than to do it in the browser once everything is loaded.

That’s because Chrome removed an important API in their MV3 implementation , not because the MV3 specification mandates said removal.
641.
by lxgr 6mo ago
It supports everything on Firefox on MV3, but not on Chrome.
642.
by lxgr 6mo ago
MV2 and MV3 are feature equivalent on Firefox when it comes to request blocking.

Ah, now I understand why all my chats are getting flagged for biosafety issues these days. (I asked it to create an illustration about gene drives for a high school level audience once.)
644.
by lxgr 6mo ago
It is, but it’s not relevant. Firefox offers both APIs.
645.
by lxgr 6mo ago
A single engine/implementation deprecated the feature. I don’t think this is particularly misleading in a hacker news context.

Of course everything based on Chromium will inherit most of Chrome's decisions, including this one. (Unless they fork their entire web extension implementation and maintain the fork forever.)

> This will ensure certain types of add-ons, like ad-blockers, continue to work best in Firefox. Oof, so even people that should really know better are now equating MV3 with "no more ad blocking"? I think at this point the enti

Maybe they're being realistic about how long these projects could survive without Mozilla doing all the work upstream?

What would prevent sites from just injecting ads into their content server-side? You'll always need both element and request blocking.
650.
by lxgr 6mo ago
And there's nothing in MV2 that uBlock Origin needs that doesn't exist in MV3 on Firefox, unlike Chrome. This issue is completely overblown.
651.
by lxgr 6mo ago
That's a problem, but an almost completely orthogonal one to MV2 being deprecated.
652.

What exactly is your gripe with MV3? Many people seem to treat it synonymously with "no more procedural request blocking", but that's not a thing Mozilla ever did: > For Manifest V3 extensions, Chrome no longer supports th

What's particularly impressive about this attack is that the attackers must have precisely coordinated it with Github not being down.
