security concerns surrounding Google Chrome
In: 5
basically google wants to update the thing that every extensions use: Manifest, a thing that tells everything about the extensions, from its name, what it does, what permissions it needs, etc.
currently we’re all using Manifest v2, and all is well and good
Google wants to update it to Manifest v3, *some* of the changes are good for security, but there’s a certain change in v3 that can “break” extensions like adblockers and tracker-blocker, rendering them “weaker” or worst case won’t work at all.
this gonna affect all chromium-based browser, not just Google Chrome, but also Brave Browser, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi, and many other browsers that uses chromium under the hood.
