The short of it is that Google wants to prevent ad blockers from working in Chromium based browsers.
I don’t remember if this is also planned for v3 or unrelated, but there was also talks of essentially DRM-ing the internet to block non-Chromium browsers.
Yeah about that. Manifest V3 will infuse Firefox userbase nicely come next summer.
Get out of the lemmy Foss bubble and ask again. I don’t know anybody that actually gives a fuck about manifest v3 tbh.
They will care about their adblocker no longer working
Given the amount of people all too happy to use Chrome on Android where you can’t block ads easily, I doubt it.
That’s usually not because they don’t care but because they don’t know that ads can be blocked on the phone as well
They don’t make the effort to find out.
I use ublock origin on firefox on android, wasnt that hard.
I’ve never even heard of it…

Yeah, it’ll be more common knowledge when it hits next summer and current era of adblocking seizes to exist on Chrome.
People don’t care about anything until that thing hits them.
