Reminder to switch browsers if you haven’t already!
- Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
- The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
- Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.
Maybe it’s my tinfoil hat but if any part of this is related to
theirgoogle’s pursuit of ad revenue, I don’t imagine a v3 compliant Firefox will work with adblock for long.At the very least they would probably make using it a huge headache
edit to make it clear who I was referring to
Firefox has ad revenue?
I’m realizing that was unclear.
I meant google’s maifest v3, not firefox’s implementation of it.
Ah, appreciate the clarification. I’d also just woken up and hopped on Lemmy, so maybe partially my fault 😋
