Firefox found a way to keep ad-blockers working with Manifest V3

Posted by Artie Phelan on Friday, May 31, 2024

A manifest tells the browser all sorts of information about an extension, from what its name and version number are, to what permissions it’ll use and what versions of a browser it’ll run on. New versions of the Manifest file format used by the browsers change what features extensions have access to and can mandate changes. For example, Manifest V3 in Chrome no longer allows a developer to load code from a remote server.
