▲ 1065 ▼ Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week (arstechnica.com) submitted 2 years ago by AnActOfCreation@programming.dev to c/technology@lemmy.world 357 comments fedilink hide all child comments Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already! Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system. The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
