Thank you for keeping the webRequest API!

Well - that’s not the response I was hoping for, but let’s get down to it for a second.

I was and am one of those voices: [Blog post] Mozilla's Manifest v3 FAQ I would still like to see a roadmap around it; I think that this type of API is absolutely critical as we see AI assistance in more tech as it will want to “look at” the same things we do to analyze them. I can appreciate your desire to be vigilant for features such as this.

But I also don’t think it’s contradictory to be both critical and thankful at the same time - and being thankful is what this post is about! Programming is also my day job; it’s a lot of work to maintain features and that also costs money and focus - especially something as deeply hooked and powerful as webRequest. So, I wanted to take some time to thank Mozilla and the hardworking team members for keeping it so far! It’s been a difficult year for almost everybody, so who couldn’t use a bit more thankfulness?

It can’t hurt for them to have a reminder that people appreciate them as well as their stewardship of the feature, right? :smiley:
