@Gargron The Chrome team has resumed the transition to Manifest v3 and explicitly decided NOT to support the the blocking version of webRequest anymore 🚫 (https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/X-aHqPOKcQU).
So from mid 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣, extensions in #Chrome need to be based on #MV3 and will be limited 📉 in what they can do (the powerful content blocker #uBlock Origin can't be fully ported: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)#filtering-capabilities-which-cant-be-ported-to-mv3).
#Firefox retains webRequest blocking in MV3 👍 (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/10/31/begin-your-mv3-migration-by-implementing-new-features-today/).
