"Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension" really doesn't tell a general audience what is happening here. No wonder it gained little notice.
replyNeither does MV3 close the door on ad blockers. This title seems like gigantic clickbait.
replyThere have been quite a few threads about it recently - unfortunately I don't have time to dig up links at the moment.

Previous link is referenced in this submission as a source, and was updated with the same info that was included in this submission. Same discussion.

replyYou mean the title of this post? It's much worse, in my opinion - plenty of strong ad blockers run on MV3. Even the developer of uBlock Origin (Lite) seems to have conceded that the MV3 approach is less resource intensive and didn't require sacrificing any of the features that 99.9% of users use.
replyDo you have a source for this ?
