OTOH, browsers with inbuilt adblockers won't be affected by MV3, as the latter only applyes to extensions. Inbuilt adblockers are part of the browser itself and aren't constrained by whatever rule Google may want to put in place. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) That’s ok.
