A clarion call from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) warning about upcoming changes to the Chrome
browser’s extension API was not the first such—from the EFF or from
others. The time of the switch to Manifest
V3, as the new API is known, is growing closer; privacy advocates are
concerned that it will preclude a number of techniques that browser
extensions use for features like ad and tracker blocking. Part of the
concern stems from the fact that Google is both the developer of a popular
web browser and the operator of an enormous advertising network so its
incentives seem, at least, plausibly misaligned.
