isnt manifest v3 supposed to help with these issues?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have no real idea about the details of manifest v3, but they've already made it come true and it didn't stop this from happening, so that tends to lead to me believing not.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It was all a lie? V3 won't magically fix everything?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 4 points 4 days ago

It'll "fix" the adblockers. As in "we had our dog fixed."
