Google's Manifest V3 initiative has led to the removal of certain ad blockers, including uBlock Origin, raising concerns about user privacy and security.
Google claims that Manifest V3 enhances user privacy and security by replacing the webRequest API with the privacy-centric declarativeNetRequest API, which limits information access.
uBlock Origin's developers argue that the limitations imposed by Manifest V3 prevent them from maintaining the functionalities of their popular ad blocker, leading to the creation of a less powerful alternative.
While many ad blockers have adapted to Manifest V3 requirements, uBlock Origin's struggle highlights the challenges faced by privacy-centric tools in the new ecosystem.
