Manifest V3: Web Request Changes
So, Google plan to introduce manifest v3 that limit extensions blocking capability by removing webRequest API and replacing it with super limited declarativeNetRequest. Please, please don't remov...
Microsoft shouldn't let Google have a say in Edge browser or remotely affect the development of Edge browser.
Microsoft should take Manifest V3, use only its good features and remove/ignore the bad ones such as those and limit the ability of adblockers.
obviously Google is against adblockers because their business runs on ads, on YouTube, searches, all around the world wide web.
adblockers such as ublock origin are such a thorn in Google's eyes because they don't let any ads through.
so yeah Microsoft is stepping in the right direction with the introduction of Tracking Prevention feature, they shouldn't stop now and use the parts of Manifest V3 which won't let adblockers work as they should.
otherwise Brave would be a better browser.

- but microsoft chose to switch to chromium. they gave control to google who is the main contributor to chromium. they chose the path of little development 😞
- They de-googled Chromium before integrating it into their Edge browser..
- I know they de-googled Chromium.
They don't review every commit and add each one. They have a set of patches. An apt Android browser comparison would be Kiwi to Bromite. btw Ungoogled Chromium exists but Microsoft did more than what Ungoogled Chromium has done iirc.
