Will adblock-rust continue to work after Chrome Manifest V3?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
A few news releases came out today mentioning that uBlock Origin and the likes will stop working in ~6 months when Manifest V3 is enforced. Will this also affect Brave's native adblocker (which shares similar lists and features as uBlock origin)?

MV3 will not affect Brave Ad Blocker because it is not an extension. So it will continue to work after Google takes down MV2.
@rmdhnreza is correct. Brave Shields doesn't use extension APIs, so Brave's native adblocker will continue to work even when Manifest V2 is removed altogether.
In addition, Brave has committed to maintaining Manifest V2 beyond Google's deprecation date, so extensions like uBlock Origin will continue to work in Brave, if you still want to use those.
Excellent, thank you
