A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

One of those permissions allows the extension to display the website differently from how it is received. This iterally prevents ad blockers from doing their thing.
Indeed, but what I don’t get is why on earth do people spew this damn crap about manifest v3 as a whole, when the actual issue is just the removal of
"webRequestBlocking"feature that Google is about to bring along with their implementation of mv3. Why the hell aren’t folks mad about the actual issue but instead just want to be mad about the whole bloody thing, which actually also does bring some very real privacy improvements among other nice things.It’s like passing a bill called “protect the people” that has had an add-on that bans porn nationwide. It’s easy to blame the bill.
Which are those dangerous permissions? It doesn’t change any of the permissions that allows extensions to read all site data, so it doesn’t increase privacy/eliminate data theft concerns
