Not misleading at all, since MV3 makes the kind of blocking uBlock Origin does completely impossible and, judging by the discussions around MV3, that's fully intentional.

There is a MV3 based uBlock Origin and it works in most cases. See github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-h for known missing things. Could you explain your "completely impossible" within that context please?

MV3 only allows for list-based blocking, rather than the dynamic pattern based blocking used with MV2. Initially, Google tried to completely prevent any dynamics with those lists and severely restrict their size, though they later realized they wouldn't get away with that. However, the current specification still makes it very likely that any blocking will miss stuff.

Or, in other words, the fact that the "lite" version doesn't fully work isn't due to it being new, but a direct consequence of design decisions in MV3.

So we are at: any new thing is bad. This is no useful discussion then. We will get new things and need to remove older ones.

You've doubled down from "completely broken" to "not fully work". But you did not provide a single example, so others can see what you mean is broken in practice.

So this is a large case of xkcd.com/1172/

So you don't know any actual problem with the current implementation. Esp as you started with "completely impossible".

The size limits are documented in developer.chrome.com/docs/exte and several changes are pending for the next release.
