Migrating to Manifest v3

[rugkx (rugk)]

BTW, there was some discussion (and my point of view) about this before:

declarativeNetRequest in Firefox?

There has been news that Google Chrome/ium is going to introduce a manifest v3 and declarativeNetRequest to replace the webRequest API, which would severely limit what content blockers as uBlock can do. Especially as they also set a limit of 30,000 entries that can be filtered at most, which is really too small for most blocklists. That said, what is Mozilla’s position on this? Will they adopt the same API? If so, are they also going to deprecate the webRequest API? My opinion: By all means, …

TL;DR: Sure, support the API for compatibility (possibly with higher limits), but don’t remove the real better blocking capabilities.
