Here’s what’s going on in the world of Firefox extensions

So we weren't surprised to hear that Chrome users were concerned after learning that several of the internet's most popular ad blockers, like uBlock Origin, would lose some of their privacy-preserving functionality on Google's web browser, resulting from the changes Manifest V3 brings to Chrome's extensions platform - changes that strengthen other facets of security, while unfortunately limiting the capabilities of certain types of privacy extensions.

But rest assured that in spite of these changes to Chrome's new extensions architecture, Firefox's implementation of Manifest V3 ensures users can access the most effective privacy tools available like uBlock Origin and other content-blocking and privacy-preserving extensions.

I'm so glad Firefox exists. There simply isn't any viable alternative to it, and that's why I'm continuously worried about the continued existence of Mozilla. The story around Manifest V3 is just another example of why Firefox is superior.
