[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 959084, member: 71262"] This is precisely what I was referring to, i.e. their position about V3 and adblocking extensions. I realize that M$ controls what gets built into the browser and V3 would never impact its adblocker. Here is one post from M$ re: V3 [URL='https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/10/14/extension-manifest-chromium-edge/']Manifest V3 changes are now available to test in Microsoft Edge[/URL]. It states, in part: You can find other 3rd party posts about M$, none of which I'm aware of that provide any more clarity about their plans. Their position is unclear about whether they will fully implement Chrome's new restrictions. Brave has its built-in adblocker but even they are not clear about the future of adblocking extensions, unless I've missed something. And there is this [URL='https://winaero.com/chrome-88-will-prevent-ad-blockers-from-work-but-vivaldi-and-brave-will-resist/']Chrome 88 will prevent Ad blockers from working, but Vivaldi and Brave will resist[/URL] where the author makes this argument without any source for this belief, other than the logic of development costs: [/QUOTE]
