> they're blocking ad blockers

I've tried uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome and it works... perfectly. I haven't noticed a single ad get through.

And isn't it supposed to be a lot more performant?

Before, I assumed Chrome really was trying to gradually stop ad-blocking. But now that I see it's had literally zero impact, at least on the sites I visit, I'm starting to wonder what all the fuss was about. Was manifest v3 really about performance and security all along, and not about eliminating ad blockers?

Meanwhile, you can't install adblocking on iOS Safari as an extension at all. But I never hear anybody bringing that up.

There are a bunch of safari ad blockers in the app store that work the same way manifest v3 blockers work.


It isn’t brought up because it isn’t true. Plenty of ad blockers for iOS/ipados Safari.
