There's a lot of reporting about YouTube's war on ad blockers and Google's new Chrome extension limits, and most of it is wrong.

    I’d argue that part of controlling your own browser is being able to make that decision. Manifest v3 will rob you of that ability.

      Manifest v3 will rob you of that ability.

      Firefox is adding Manifest v3… without deprecating the blocking API call that ad blockers use, so no, Mv3 doesn’t rob you of anything… if you were in control of your browser in the first place.

        Erm, that makes all the difference. We’re talking about Google robbing you of choice. Which they are doing by replacing v2 with v3.

        Of course Firefox is not doing that.
