Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

Chrome's Manifest V3 transition is here. First up are warnings for any V2 extensions.

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

I used firefox back in the day because it was better than IE, switched to chrome because of the convenience and features. I recently switched to brave because chrome became such a pain. If brave shits the bed because of this, I'm going back to firefox.
- Friendly FYI: Brave is based on Chromium, so under the hood it uses the same browser engine as Chrome. I can't recommend switching to Firefox enough, not only because it's a good and fully featured browser, but also because its existence is vital to keeping Google's power in check.
  
  Don’t forget that brave is also just a crypto scam hiding as a browser.
