There is already a manifest v3 compatible version of ublock origin so can someone explain to me how it gonna end ad blockers?
Because that version of ublock is already less effective. The long play is ending ad blockers and this is another step to achieve those ends. If you can't see that then I'm sorry but it can't be much more obvious than it already is.
uBlock Origin is already less effective when running in Chrome than in Firefox. For example, it can't detect CNAME spoofing on Chrome, while it can do that in Firefox. When Chrome finally enforce manifest V3, uBlock Origin will be even more neutered in chrome due to limited number of blocking rules.
That's a pretty interesting thing to know! Thanks
