[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 902131, member: 88686"] Don't worry until the day it's implemented. The whole pandemic has caused the Chrome team to delay a lot of features fortunately (Mv3) and unfortunately (post-quantum encryption). So I honestly doubt that it will even be implemented by the end of this year. It's risking to break too many highly popular extensions and the new work conditions don't give every developer the opportunity to respond and adapt as quickly as they need to. It's not just uBlock Origin that would be hit hard but also HTTPS Everywhere, PrivacyBadger/PrivacyPossum, Grease/Tamper/Violentmonkey, Stylish/Stylus, Decentraleyes/LocalCDN. Manifest v3 is not backwards compatible so all of them will have to rewrite them. I just can't see it happening unless Google plans to kill their most popular extensions and have everyone switch to Firefox. There is a discussion on v3 here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338[/URL] [/QUOTE]
