    Out of curiosity - have you tried any of the fully Mv3 compatible adblockers yet?

    I’m not using any chrome browsers.

    and… it just works. Still blocks ads as well as uBlock ever did.

    so your benchmark is what you see? that’s far too little in my opinion. I want to block tracking more than ads. but Mv3 blockers don’t have the capabilities for that anymore. Mv3 is useless for that, google knows full well what they have done.

    I can’t find them now, but I saw some articles saying that actually Mv3 offers some new tools that help achieve adblock goals easier than Mv2 allowed.

    I highly doubt there’s any truth in that. Mv2 blockers can do whatever they want with any asset that gets loaded.
    ok, no, there’s an exception. on chrome, Mv2 blockers could not filter traffic at browser startup (when previous tabs are automatically loaded), but that’s a chrome defect and this was not an issue on Firefox for a very long time (if ever)

    some wiki article s from the developer:
