It changes how extensions work in Chrome (and derived browsers), notably it modifies the API that adblockers use to block requests and dramatically restricts the number of rules they can support. It’s a change pretty clearly designed to limit the scope of adblockers and make it easier for companies like Google to work around them.

What the fuck, Facebook?
Are they actively trying to pass as that admin? Are these “problems” in any way related to impersonation?
I don’t see any claim that this impersonation is actually misleading anybody. OP just seems to be salty that they’re mocking their tankie behaviour and going “but but they’re impersonating someone!”.
Why do they insist on dicking around with the taskbar?
I mean there are significant similarities. Email is often used as an existing example when talking about the Fediverse, the username@domain format is basically identical.
So why’s it irrelevant?
Is it because it doesn’t support your point? It’s because it doesn’t support your point, isn’t it? Thought so.
Google must be fucking salivating at the prospect of manifest v3 going live and adblockers being gimped.
I wish more people would switch to Firefox.
Fuuuck’s sake that’s going to be such a ridiculous mess.
Idk do you get confused when two people use the same username on different email services?
we're seen as evil because we're helping DRM exist and we're ensuring people make money out of games
No, you’re seen as evil because your software is an inefficient and invasive security risk that makes games significantly worse, and compromises/punishes your paying customers in the quest for more money.
I no longer pirate games (thanks to Steam), but I’ll never buy one with Denuvo.
Fuck allllll the way off.
Traditionally you use a fuck ton of water in a giant pot but, really, that’s mainly so you can boil it harder without it boiling over so easily. The actual pasta comes out basically the same regardless of the amount of water.
What isn’t the same, though, is the water. And many pasta dishes call for adding some of the starchy pasta water as a thickener/emulsifier for sauces, so actually if you’re doing that you’re better off using less water as it’ll be more concentrated. And obviously less water boils faster.
For this reason many well regarded chefs have taken to cooking pasta in a wide flat pan with just enough water to cover it, at least for small quantities.

Brave have said they’ll retain support for Manifest v2, but realistically that’s likely to be non-trivial amounts of work, and get harder as their upstream codebase moves away from it and the internals get switched over from the old webRequest mechanism.
They’ll have to patch things manually to keep it working, which is likely to get harder and harder. If Google want to make it hard for them to retain support, they can do so.
At some point they may not have the resources to keep doing that and might have to decide between forking the codebase and losing manifest v2. If they fork then they’ll have a load more work to do in backporting security changes etc.
They’ll also have to find a way to retain the old manifest v2 versions of extensions, as they’ll disappear from the Chrome store. Might mean maintaining a separate store. The authors might not care enough to maintain a Brave version of their extensions.
All in all it’s not great path forward for Brave. At best they’ll have an increased maintenance burden. At worst it gives Google the power to force them to drop Manifest v2 or be overwhelmed by maintenance. But this is what we get for handing an effective monopoly to Google.
Switch to Firefox!
