Was wondering the exact date of the quote used by Google but could not find it.

Looking at Adguard recent publication https://adguard.com/en/blog/afds-2023-recap.html it seems more in line than the one from 2021. But still they end with :

>Despite the fact that the Chrome devs spend considerable resources on fixing the MV3, and the dynamic is definitely positive, there are still many questions left.

Edit: for a technical listing of what is not possible with v3 : https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as...

Keep in mind that adguard's main product is a desktop version that effectively mitm's all traffic so they can block requests or locally inject JS & CSS directly into the page without needing browser extensions (which is admittedly pretty clever, but I don't like the local proxy approach). Purely from a business perspective, MV3 is actually good for them because it means that this desktop approach becomes the only viable option for full-control over the request lifecycle.
