Is Firefox really a solution anymore? Recent news about Firefox implementing [Manifest V3](https://9to5google.com/2021/05/28/firefox-manifest-v3-extens...) with "Manifest V3" appearing to be another attempt from Google to kneecap privacy extensions. I've been considering Brave which I had pretty much ignored but I honestly don't know who to trust. I think it's basically common knowledge we can't trust either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Firefox is implementing Manifest V3 but not the part designed to hinder content blockers.

Thank you, your comment helped me realize I was misinterpreting the article.

The answer to your concern is even in the headline of the article you link!

[nnutter]

If only. Even just the headline makes it clear that Firefox has no leverage and are capitulating. Plus, that was just one example.

After seeing tjpnz's comment and re-reading and reading the linked Mozilla announcement I was misinterpreting the article. I thought the article was just saying that they would continue to support Manifest v2 while adopting Google's Manifest v3 and then was saying Manifest v2 was going to be retired around a year later. However, the Mozilla announcement makes it clearer that they are implementing a fork of Google's Manifest v3.

So Firefox not doing the thing that kneecaps adblockers is evidence of Firefox not being a solution? how does that work?
