Chrome's Manifest V3 transition is here. First up are warnings for any V2 extensions.

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven’t already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

          “WebUSB is a JavaScript application programming interface specification for securely providing access to USB devices from web applications”

          Holy Hannah, NO!!!

          Might as well allow a website to direct write to your hard drive unprompted again.

          Does noone see how BAD this stuff is?

          Stop creating attack vectors with glowing neon signs on them.

            Except it’s a very good thing for 2FA USB keys which prevent people from gaining access unless they have physical access to the key. Also useful for USB gamepads etc

        I would close my bank account and such to a different bank. It takes literally 5 minutes to open one online.

        And yes, I would not work for a company that doesn’t support Firefox

        I would also keep pestering support of the government website, that one I will have to give to you
