    was purely for security reasons and not for disabling ad blockers.

    I had not heard of Manifest v3 and actually can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. I guess you are.

      They’ve been trying for years to implement this at a large price to the users. They always try to hide under the guise of security.

      They’re not being sarcastic, they are repeating Google’s (bs) justification

        They are being sarcastic, with the emphasis on “purely”, while saying Google’s justification. It’s exactly to point out it’s bs.

          yes exactly what sneezycat said. I was being sarcastic and pointing out that Manifest V3 was always a crackdown on ad blocking and nothing else.

          Sure, I guess I maintain its that’s not what sarcasm is but we do agree on the point

            If it is not sarcasm then the justification is not bs. And OP agrees it is sarcasm.
