Well, to be fair, not really. Scriptlets will continue to work just okay.

To be completely honest, Manifest V3 technically is not THAT bad and it's capabilities at the current moment are really close to what major ad blockers can do.

There're still some things that bother me:

1. Debugging a content blocker is really inconvenient (not as bad as Safari though) 2. The future. What if its development stalls after it's released? 3. Google's goal (probably, for Manifest V4) is to make content blocking completely declarative, i.e. get rid of any host permissions and content scripts.
