But will the remnant adblocking in Chrome still work a few years down the line? Or will websites circumvent it? That’s the question.

Is it the question? No one's really asking it and it's obviously purely speculative.

[zarzavat]

What’s not speculative is that adblockers have to be constantly maintained to remain effective. As websites find new circumventions, adblockers respond with fixes.

Manifest v3 freezes the capabilities of adblockers in time (it regresses them). Perhaps it’s sufficient for today’s ads but over time websites will take advantage and the effectiveness of adblockers will wither: websites have a financial incentive to circumvent all those chrome users.
