panic about the change from Mv2 to Mv3, and also a lot of misinformation. It’s correct that Mv3 adblocker are somewhat less effective (independent tests don’t show much difference, but in change offer a way better security).
what do those test measure? only what is visible, that is percentage of ads hidden? or does it take into account all the tracking shit regular ublock origin can thwart? I don’t buy that it’s “somewhat” less effective, and neither that it is more secure.
Mv2 will disappear sooner or later,
that’s not a problem with browsers like firefox, where the webrequest api was kept for Mv3.
Only problem exist for uBO,
there are plenty of other addons that make use of the webrequest API, they are just not so well known that half of the average desktop users know it. those are affected too.
due to it’s specific structure need to be practically remade from scratch to be compatible with Mv3,
that’s false. ublock simply cannot do lots of things with Mv3 that it can with Mv2. lite is lite for a reason, and not because in short time thats all he could put together.
then your quote just brings up google propaganda. restrictions of useful features are dressed up as “security”, just like google does it again but now with android with a different approach.
