Isn't Manifest 3 about 3rd party tracking cookies?
Everyones going ape about UBlock, but that's an unintended consequence.
I'm very happy to have 3 party cookies more limited. FB already tracks me everywhere everywhen.
(But I will be very very sad when UBlock doesn't work anymore)
That's what they want to focus on. And hey, that's great. But there's no reason they need to limit how a user installed plugin can filter API requests. Ad blockers and the like were tools to help with the ads and tracking issue. So it's great Google's trying to help. But it mostly just seems like PR at this point.
