Hopefully Firefox won’t follow.
Firefox currently has no plans to drop support for manifest V2. It also supports the WebRequest API in V3, so ad blocking would continue to work if they do discontinue V2.
Awesome!
The only silver lining was they were also going to disable third party cookies, but they nixed that idea and kept this one. I’m done rooting for chrome.
They were gonna axe the cookies in return for a generalized profile in your browser or something.

Wait what? LOL
Firefox is compromised because Mozilla bought an AD Company but Brave, an AD Company is not? Brilliant.
All Chromium based browsers are implicitly accepting money from an ad company because Google makes Chromium.
Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.
Yep. Hey, maybe Ladybird will develop into a nice fourth option long term. As far as I know it’s just Chromium, Mozilla, and Safari being actively developed. (I forget the names of their internal rendering images, I think blink, gecko, and webkit but I’m not sure.)
This can be problem for Firefox and Chromium based Browsers, too. If the Website decides that Manifest v3 is mandatory to visit their site, they can block any access from Browsers with v2 running in the background easier than before.
Websites don’t get to see what addons are you running
Luckily the first link is for a deprecated property that returns a hard coded list for compatability reasons, and the other two are extension apis that random websites can’t access.
Besides, with uBO (or a custom addon or userscript) you can replace the value of that list, for all sites or selectively
