Firefox has the same problem with V3, it has nothing to do with the browser

Didn't they say they will implement V3, but change it slightly to allow extensions like ublock origin to block web requests? Also I'm pretty sure there's still no timeline for any deprecation of V2 in FF, unlike for Chrome, which will disable all V2 extensions.

    Also not a problem in Vivaldi, it has a own inbuild ad/trackerblocker, no need of the Chrome Store for this. Anyway until June 24 also the adblocker devs have updated their products for sure.

    If you understood the differences between manifest v2 and v3 you'd understand that it's pretty much impossible to make an ad blocker with the same effectiveness in V3 as in V2.

    So they will exist, just be worse.

    That doesn't even mention the changes to webrequest. Here's an intro: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/blocking-web-requests/
