[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1107872, member: 39702"] It was never about safety. Sure, MV3 extensions are less powerful, but they can still do damage if there's malicious intent. It was about limiting the ad blockers ability. Remember how YouTube tried so hard to beat ad blockers, but filter devs were always ahead of them and defeated their script in the matter of minutes/hours? Yeah. YouTube now won't have to try so hard, because they know exactly what ad blockers can and can't do. I'm expecting their anti-ad block script to make a comeback, but this time, it won't be so easily defeated by MV3 ad blockers. And honestly, I hope they do that because that could be the final nail in the coffin of Chromium based browsers. [/QUOTE]
