Chrome’s Manifest V3, and its changes for ad blocking, are coming real soon


Chrome is warning users that their extension makers need to update soon.

First announced in 2018, the last word on Manifest V3 was that V2 extensions would start being nudged out in early June on the Beta, Dev, and Canary update channels. Google noted in November 2023 that Manifest V3 allowed for a greater number, and more dynamic updating, of content-blocking rules in extensions, specifically ad blockers. But one of the biggest changes is in disallowing "remotely hosted code," which includes the filtering lists that ad blockers keep regularly updated.
