A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

Firefox will be using Manifest v3 or was this just posted in the wrong community?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Firefox will be compatible with V3, but keeps compatibility with V2, unlike Chromium.

Firefox is already compatible with v3, by the way, since version 109: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/

Please Firefox, when mass migration happens, dont let browser monopoly get into your head and change your policy.

I know the Ff code is open source and others can create forks. But still

I haven't watched the video, but judging by the thumbnail, it's complete bullshit:

I'm not sure on your take of the link you posted but it quite clearly states the limitations placed on these extensions and how they can be rendered useless by the new rules.
