Google's revised Chrome extension standard loosens restrictions on ad blockers
Briefly

After putting the update on pause last year, Google announced on Thursday it will continue the transition to Manifest V3 with some key changes.
Google previously proposed putting restrictions on the functionality of this API for security reasons, potentially impacting the effectiveness of ad-blockers across all Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox.
But now, Google will continue the deprecation of Manifest V2 and will automatically disable Manifest V2 extensions in users' browsers in June 2024. Users also won't be able to download Manifest V2 extensions from the Chrome Web Store at that time.
