[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 976360, member: 78686"] I think even those who opposed Manifest V3 at the moment like Firefox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi etc. will eventually follow Google's path a couple of years or more later. Also, the points about younger generation made above are correct. Most of them don't care about ads, let alone know about Manifest V3. As a basic example, In a local forum of my country yesterday, some guys (mostly less than 22 years old) who are supposed to be geeks were talking about adblockers and facebook video ads. Surprisingly, none of them know anything about Manifest V3. BTW, since most people here don't seem to use facebook I should let them know that it's impossible to block facebook video ads. The host/urls that facebook use to serve normal video and video ads are identical. So it's not possible for filter maintainers to differentiate them. Fanboy couldn't do it, Adguard couldn't either. I even sent Alex of Adguard my browser's HAR log file, but that didn't help. So if Google wants, they can implement such things in the future, making it even harder for us to block ads. But they have not yet. I'm not taking Google's side here, but thankfully this Manifest V3 is at least better than what facebook does. [/QUOTE]
