Manifest v3 is already supported in Firefox (they must support it to keep the extension ecosystem alive), but they implemented it without the user-hostile restrictions.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that, I thought the user-hostile restrictions were inherent to Manifest v3 and they were unavoidable.

Okay, maybe just maybe Firefox squeaks by unharmed then.

edit: I literally just had someone else tell me just now that "It’s not something that can be worked around. It’s specifically a design feature of manifest v3 to restrict these types of things."

So which is it? I'm kind of getting mixed signals here.

edit 2: Oh, it sounds like Google has additional arbitrary restrictions on content blocking functionality, beyond what Manifest V3 itself has.
