This reminds me how google conveniently made the switch to manifest v3 when there were legitimate use cases like adblockers. Sure, technically speaking v3 is more secure and that may be better for users but your comment just made me think the opposite is in motion here.

In politics there is a Churchill quote "Never let a crisis go to waste".

In IT, big tech never wastes opportunity to introduce a dark design behind a useful feature.

Nothing wrong with manifest v3. It's just that ad blocking is so important that it should be an exception to the whole thing. Ad blockers should be literally built into the browsers so that they have full access, only conflicts of interest stops this.
