Google to push ahead with Chrome's ad-blocker extension overhaul in earnest
Meanwhile, Firefox still supports Manifest V2 and has no plans to stop.
Quote:On Monday, some people using Beta, Dev, and Canary builds of Google Chrome will be presented with a warning when they access their browser's extension management page – located at chrome://extensions.
The banner will say that legacy Manifest V2 browser extensions will stop working soon.
Those extensions include ad-blockers and other content filters that rely on the Manifest V2 API. And though leading ad-blocking extensions more or less support Manifest V2's successor, conveniently named Manifest V3, there is still some argument that these filters will be disadvantaged under version 3 when they are no longer allowed to use version 2.
