Chrome team is actively working on major changes proposed for their extension platform: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nPu6Wy4LWR66EFLeYInl3NzzhHzc-qnk4w4PX-0XMw8/edit# Should we expect same updates for Firefox?

Hey @avyrvich . We are watching Chrome’s proposals for manifest v3. We do anticipate that we will adopt some of their proposals to maintain compatibility, which we believe will benefit Firefox developers and users. However, we are not committing to implement all aspects of manifest v3, and in fact, w…

More to the point: As they currently stand, Google’s proposals for manifest v3 would utterly cripple ad-blocking and other content-blocking extensions. It’s becoming increasingly clear that this is Google’s intended goal, and their final manifest v3 will not meaningfully deviate from that course. I…

Like I mentioned earlier, we’re still monitoring Chrome’s manifest v3 proposals. Their recent post indicates that they are still iterating on some of the ideas they would like to implement, including changes that would impact content-blockers. Regardless of what happens with Chrome’s manifest v3 pr…

I find this reply disappointing, to say the least. Google’s recent post can best be described as “fiddling around the edges” without addressing any of the fundamental problems with the manifest v3 proposal. It’s not a serious attempt to address those problems, and that lack of seriousness is one of…

Amen to the above post! Excellent suggestions as well. :+1: Firefox is all about having the choice to improve one’s user experience with powerful add-ons, contrary to other browsers which seem to have different goals. I also use uBlock Origin and uMatrix with GREAT satisfaction. These add-ons incr…

BTW, there was some discussion (and my point of view) about this before: [image] declarativeNetRequest in Firefox? Development There has been news that Google Chrome/ium is going to introduce a manifest v3 and declarativeNetRequest to replace the webRequest API, which woul…

Note that the specific issue of deprecating the content blocking capabilities of the webRequest API is not a privacy-related issue, contrary to what some Google employees have claimed. It’s true that the declarativeWebRequest API provides better privacy over the webRequest API, but the privacy risk…

As a developer, I appreciate Mozilla’s commitment to the webRequest API. A dream I had for a number of years was to create an NSFW image filter that ran fully client side using machine learning. I have now created an extension that does just that. This was due to the Mozilla’s addition of the power…

Hi, I recently wrote an extension that inserts a cookie in a cross-origin request using the webRequest API. The extension helps users view moderator actions on content from quarantined groups on reddit, thus bringing back some transparency that was lost when the groups were given that classification…
