Firefox will be using Manifest v3 or was this just posted in the wrong community?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Firefox will be compatible with V3, but keeps compatibility with V2, unlike Chromium.

Firefox is already compatible with v3, by the way, since version 109: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/

Firefox will, but they won’t remove some of the things chrome removes, including webRequestBlocking

Please Firefox, when mass migration happens, dont let browser monopoly get into your head and change your policy.

I know the Ff code is open source and others can create forks. But still

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I can assure you that Google, an ad tech company with a near monopoly on web browsers, has an interest in eliminating ad blockers in the browser that they have direct control of.

Actualpy manifestV3 is awesome as they reduce the permissions of extensions on the browser.

That's literally what kills the ad-blockers. You should watch the video that's conveniently linked in the post you commented on, it's only half an hour long and well researched.

Yeah, it’s just saying the same things. I watched for 15 minutes and still don’t see the “worse than we thought” part. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ) still works pretty well despite the restrictions, and edge cases are low.
