Recently, Google announced the launch of its newest extension platform, which hits the market with the name of Manifest V3. With an intensive release schedule, starting in January 2023, Google will begin phasing out support for its previous platform, Manifest V2, on the Canary, Dev and Beta channels and will no longer updated. And, starting in June, it will start deactivating this last platform in corporate channels, making Manifest V3 its definitive platform. It's also important to remember that starting January 2024, V2 extensions that are still online will be removed completely.
According to Google, the many changes in Manifest V3 have to do with the privacy and security of its users, however, for many developers, this platform is causing a lot of controversy. They believe that this release by Google makes Chrome's ad blockers less effective, virtually rendering them useless. Users who use the browser in a corporate manner have a longer life span, as the Manifest V2 extensions there will only be permanently offline in 2024.
Manifest V2 had a “webRequest” API, which prevented the insertion of cookies in the browser or the loading of media files. Already in Manifest V3, who will prevent and block ads will be the browser itself, not the platform.
The problem is precisely that, as the limit may be lower than the amount of rules that certain ad blockers need to actually maintain their effectiveness and effectiveness. According to Google, Manifest is being inserted because it is more secure, effective and better at protecting and privacy of its users than Manifest V2.
It will be necessary to wait to see how the performance of this new platform in the Chrome browser will be, and to understand if it came to improve and optimize navigation and user experience in a safe and secure way, or if you need new ones settings.
