Thank you for new info, i didn't know about that, but it's not what I'm worried, I'm worried about manifest v3 going forced by Google and other corpos and being adopted by Firefox, but we still have dns adblockers for now, like pihole and such

Firefox already supports Manifest V3. Crucially, though:

  • Firefox continues to support Manifest V2 for the foreseeable future.
  • Firefox will not adopt the arbitrary limitation of content/ad blocking rules in Manifest V3, which is what's bad about it.
  • Firefox offers APIs in addition to Manifest V2 and V3, with which more powerful extensions can be built. This is why uBlock Origin has been better on Firefox for quite a while already.
