This. I’m pretty sure this is a result of the ad engine changes they made to chrome a few months ago. Manifest V2 is what enables uBlock Origin to be so effective iirc and they’re removing it in chrome in favor of Manifest V3.

Firefox on the other hand still supports V2.

For now, mozilla rely heavily on google for funding.

They dropped xul extensions to have extension compatibility with chrome a few years ago.

I still miss XUL extensions because they could properly modify UI of the browser instead of just being pieces of JavaScript run inside tabs.
