Actually manifest V3 is awesome as they reduce the permissions of extensions on the browser, which increases user security.
Main point is to tell that manifestV3 is not invented to kill adblockers. Many youtubers are misinforming users for views.
So it won't kill ad blockers?
It won't kill adblockers but restrict the dangerous permissions an addon / extension asking for.
Which are those dangerous permissions? It doesn’t change any of the permissions that allows extensions to read all site data, so it doesn’t increase privacy/eliminate data theft concerns
