Mozilla is implementing it differently https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/05/18/manifest-v3-in-firefox-recap-next-steps/
They have published a guide https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/
From what I’ve read it will disable ad-blocking extensions.
Google has also started delaying the approval of revisions of privacy-related addons. This is an all out war against user privacy. Everyone, please stop using or promoting this Trojan malware called chrome or anything based on it.
Most people aren’t going to know or care, but getting the word out that Firefox allows better, more useful extensions due to recent changes by Alphabet will make a difference.
It’s true that most people won’t know or care. But the only ones who can make a difference are the ones who understand the situation. We shouldn’t assume that nobody will listen to us. If we tell a hundred people, perhaps 5 will listen - and even that’s a pessimistic assumption. Even such small changes add up in the long run. The last nail on the coffin of our freedom will be the silence of those with the wisdom to recognize its erosion.
People will definitely listen if the experience is better because of the extensions.
