In the article, Firefox is cited as intending to adopt MV3 for compatibility reasons. If they indeed do so, I'm not sure how much relief running Firefox will offer from the more evil aspects of MV3.

Firefox will not implement all the restrictions: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-updat...

With Firefox's market share, not much. This could massively benefit Firefox adoption, though, because everyone relying on old extensions will have to switch.

From that viewpoint, the new restrictions could actually be a good thing.

At the point when Edge (Chromium) no longer supports proper adblockers, I would instantly stop using it and use Firefox for almost everything. It would be a 100% deal-breaker for me. Right now, I have Firefox installed but don't use it much, because I don't see a compelling advantage.

If you start using Firefox now, you may probably better appreciate it (especially if you also look at other features and extensions like Containers).

They're not really "adopting" it as the way forward. Firefox will be able to use Mv3-type extensions, but the current extension types will continue to work.

Firefox devs have confirmed that they'll implement Mv3, but without all of its restrictions and with compatibility for older extensions.

While the capability of blocking web requests isn't in question, there are some rumblings around deprecating background pages in Firefox, too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1578286

Certainly nothing firm as far as it looks, but at the very least they're thinking about it, even though that change is somewhat problematic, too.

My understanding is that they will adopt but continue to support "legacy" extensions
