Chrome pushes forward with plans to limit ad blockers in the future::Google has set a date for the introduction of Manifest V3 which will hurt the capabilities of many ad blockers.
Users push forward with using Firefox
I might be misunderstanding but the article says:
But they don’t plan to drop MV2 though
To be more accurate: Mozilla does plan on deprecating MV2 once they have all of the MV3 stuff supported and sufficient time to transition has been given but they will make the the crucial “webRequestBlocking” API used by ad blockers available on MV3 (unlike Chrome) for those extensions that need it to do more than declarativeNetRequest allows for.

Awesome news, thanks!
