| Do you think Google wants to have the extensions system, given that this is how people block ads? |

| adblockers on chromium-based browsers were severely crippled by manifest V3. they're fine with extenisons (and apparently malware) as long as users can't effectively block their tracking/ads. |

| ▲ | anonym29 a day ago | parent [-] | | you're not using ublock, you're using ublock lite. it cannot do dynamic filtering, script blocking, or url parameter removal, among other limitations. | | |
| ▲ | charcircuit 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | Why does that matter if he's not seeing ads. A severely crippled adblocker means that you would see ads during regular usage. Additionally, Brave a chromium based browser has adblocking built into the browser itself meaning it is not affected by webextention changes and does not require trusting an additional 3rd party. | | |

| I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes away - it’s very “old Google”. We’re moving more towards walled gardens. |
