      I can assure you that Google, an ad tech company with a near monopoly on web browsers, has an interest in eliminating ad blockers in the browser that they have direct control of.

      Actualpy manifestV3 is awesome as they reduce the permissions of extensions on the browser.

      That’s literally what kills the ad-blockers. You should watch the video that’s conveniently linked in the post you commented on, it’s only half an hour long and well researched.

        Yes. Technically, no, you will still be able to have a very simple ad blocking addon, but for all practical purposes, mv3 will kill ad blockers as we know them today.
