    This can be problem for Firefox and Chromium based Browsers, too. If the Website decides that Manifest v3 is mandatory to visit their site, they can block any access from Browsers with v2 running in the background easier than before.

      A site that does this is a site I’ll never visit.

        The other 95% of all visitors will still want to see this page. If the most visited websites use such a blocking method, then most visitors will use Chrome.

          I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don’t tolerate. I don’t use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.

          This is why Google is a monopoly and needs to be broken up.

      Then I guess I simply won’t frequent those sites.

      Websites don’t get to see what addons are you running

          Luckily the first link is for a deprecated property that returns a hard coded list for compatability reasons, and the other two are extension apis that random websites can’t access.

            Besides, with uBO (or a custom addon or userscript) you can replace the value of that list, for all sites or selectively
