  • 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.

        It’s not that simple.

        I need very niche Chromium-based extensions for my work. They don’t yet exist on Firefox. Nor any replacements to my knowledge.

        They aren’t ad-related, but I don’t know what’s going to happen to them.

      Happy to be corrected, but as I have understood it in the past, all of them.

      Yup. All the big guys will enshittify.

      Luckily, there’s Linux and you can use Brave or Firefox.
