So far, popular extensions such as Ghostery Privacy Ad Blocker, uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger have all faced difficulty in achieving full compatibility with MV3, especially when it comes to features which enable in-depth logging or statistical analysis of browser requests.
This especially applies to privacy extensions and extensions that specialise in filtering out undesired web content, such as ad blockers.
Google's MV3 was created in a bid to "increase user security and privacy," however, many popular browser extensions have struggled to make a smooth transition to MV3 without having to significantly compromise on their intended functionality. In January 2023 Google is cutting off legacy support for its pivotal application programming interface (API), Manifest V2 (MV2), encouraging adoption of the latest version of the API, Manifest V3 (MV3), instead. Next year, users of ad blockers and browser privacy tools may find their favourite Google Chrome extensions have stopped working, thanks to significant changes scheduled by Google.
