[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 959281"] This are the three main issues extension writers have with Mainfest V3 (at this moment). 1. For general purpose adblockers like uBlock, AdGuard and AdBlockPlus the update of the different filter types (static, regex, script, css) has to be allowed by Google, without the need of updating the extension. 2. For advanced content filtering some sort of ignore for the dynamic rules (uBO's noop short for no operate meaning ignore and do nothing) has to be facilitated by Google. 3. The current AdBlockPlus syntax as we know it now (with all sorts of rules combined in one list) will probably have to be split and rewritten into different type of rules (grouping all blocks into static filters, allow overrides in dynamic filters and the advanced CSS, javascriptlet and regex rules each in their own seperate filterlist). This will require a lot of work (and some learning/getting used to) for list contributors. Google has listened to the critism of extension programmers, but until now they implemented improvements not how the extension programmers wanted it. There is still time and room for improvement, but my take on it that it is 50/50. In 1,5 years from now we might say it was a storm in a glass of water or we settle for sledge hammer like adblocking on DNS level combined with browser build-in adblocking and a few website specific adblockers (e.g for Youtube, Tiktok, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
