Actually manifest V3 is awesome as they reduce the permissions of extensions on the browser, which increases user security.
Main point is to tell that manifestV3 is not invented to kill adblockers. Many youtubers are misinforming users for views.
So it won't kill ad blockers?
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.
