• 00:00:00 The video discusses Chrome's upcoming manifest V3, which will replace the current version of extensions. Manifest V3 will have certain advantages and disadvantages, and content blockers will be severely crippled. Firefox will continue to support blocking web requests, and will ship support for the collaborative net request.
• 00:05:00 Chrome is killing adblockers, and Firefox will save them. The extension limit and regex rules limit in Chrome is a problem because it is not as easy as it was before Chrome set a minimum guaranteed limit of 30,000 rules per extension and a total limit of 330,000 rules for all extensions installed by a single user. If this limit is exceeded, adguard mv3 will only be able to apply the first 5,000 rules. This creates problems because some content blockers still exist, and users think the plugin is broken.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses how Chrome is killing adblockers, and Firefox will save them. Brave will support u-block origin and Matrix, so long as Google doesn't remove underlying V2 code paths. Chrome will eventually remove mv2 support, and if this happens, Brave will continue to support u-block origin. Content blockers need to find other ways to fund themselves, as ad blocking is a losing battle.
