Ahoy matey! Google be concoctin' a new contraption to bolster security and speed, but it be stirrin' the pot fer ad blockers in Chrome, arrr! Will they walk the plank or find safe harbor? A right ruckus, I say!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn ‘bout the treacherous seas of Google’s latest caper with their Chrome browser, makin’ a swashbucklin’ switch to the dreaded Manifest V3! Aye, it be a change that be settin’ sail soon, leavin’ old Manifest V2 to sink to Davy Jones’ locker.With this shift, extensions be takin’ a mighty blow, especially those crafty ad blockers! The scallywags at Google be warnin’ Chrome users that their beloved uBlock Origin may soon be walkin’ the plank. Aye, they suggest ye replace it with somethin’ from the Chrome Web Store or face the consequences of unsupported extensions.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation be raisin’ the Jolly Roger, claimin’ that this V3 be nothin’ but a ruse, and Mozilla be keepin’ the V2 ships afloat while testin’ the waters of V3. But fear not, for Google insists they’re not killin’ the ad blockers; nay, they be makin’ 'em safer! Yet, many a developer be at the bottom of a rum barrel, cryin’ foul over this change.
So, prepare ye crew! The seas be changin’, and ye best be ready for a wild ride on the waves of Chrome’s new landlubber rules, or ye might be left adrift in the digital ocean!
