Google's transition from Manifest V2 to V3 aims to enhance security and privacy for users, but it may lead to the loss of popular extensions like uBlock Origin.
Despite Google's claims surrounding safety, critics argue that the move seems to undermine user choice and benefits Google's ad revenue model by limiting ad blockers.
Tim Sweeney criticized Google for using its market dominance to eliminate competition, suggesting that this shift is a strategic move to enhance its ad monopoly.
SquareX highlighted that even with the stricter controls of Manifest V3, attackers could still create malicious extensions, raising concerns over user security.
