Manifest V3, webRequest, and ad blockers
-
Browser with chromium will just die because the dev team lazyly use chromium.
Its a shame because Vivaldi have somes nice things and nice features, but, ad its a big no no, and with a little regret the browser will end in the trashbin.
After manifest v3 will only left firefox and Arc i guess. -
@rrrooouskljdhf, ARC also is Chromium, same as Vivaldi. Don't confuse the possibilities, M3 will be a problem for Chrome user, but not necessarly for Chromium user, only if it's a fork as is, Vivaldi isn't.

This is a Windows registry change. What about all the other desktop platforms?

@DoctorG ?
Now I'm wondering why you folks keep tagging each other in the old-fashioned way rather than just replying or quoting the person's post that you're trying to attract the attention of.
Does that not work on this forum platform to notify the user or what?
I know users can set their notification settings to allow or block notificaitons for being tagged/replied to/etc.

@ImaginaryFreedom, sorry, DoctorG and myself are old fashion, but she put some links with explanations what ocurres and I added some more resources to this links, precisely to give you an answer to the problem. Using links, because there are long threads and articles, not very usefull to cite these here in this forum and too long to post an resumen.

I'm not complaining about the links (which I have already bookmarked) was just curious if there's something about this platform that requires that people manually tag people they are replying to.
I never liked this forum platform personally, but mostly for layout/aesthetic reasons. (And it makes it hard to easily see replies to your posts, the "notifications" link is kinda pathetic for that function, there should be a dedicated page for replies/tags in the profile, not just this puny ephemeral notification dropdown nonsense)
-
@ImaginaryFreedom, we tag the user or cite him, to make it clear who we are responding to, which in a longer thread would not always be obvious to whom it is directed. It could be an answer to a question from a few pages ago, which without quoting or tagging, would be left without context.

As you can see I'm following up to your reply and quoting you here which will automatically tag you.
Which you could have done with your followup, which is why it was a point of curiosity to me.
Have a good day

A true proof of the impact of MV3:
Adguard AdBlocker (MV3 Beta).

@barbudo2005 is it for each filter list limit or global 5000 rules for all lists?
Also, what if we create 10x sub-list, with 5000 rules each to overcome the limit?
-
"Notifications: Due to the new API’s rule limits, users may see frequent notifications when they exceed these limits.
Why this is happening: Manifest V3 divides rules into static (built-in) and dynamic, with strict limits.
Static rules: 30,000 rules per extension, with a cumulative limit of 330,000 for all extensions installed by a single user.
For regexp rules, the limit is 1,000 per extension.
The maximum number of simultaneously enabled filters is 50.
Dynamic rules: a strict cap of 5,000 rules. This limit also includes 1,000 regexp rules.
If this limit is exceeded, only 5,000 converted rules will be applied in the following order: first user rules, then allowlist, and finally — custom filters.
Converted rules are rules that have been transformed to DNR format using declarative converter. During this conversion process, some rules may overwrite others (badfilter), some may be combined (removeparame), resulting in a list of rules with a slightly different order.
From this list of converted rules, we will only use 5,000 rules. The rest of them will be displayed in the editor, but not applied.
The current situation is an improvement from the prototype stage, and we express our gratitude to the W3C group for considering our feedback in issues such as:
Adjusting the maximum number of static rule-sets and enabled rule-sets
Increasing the maximum number of dynamic rules to 30,000
For now, we are operating with 5,000 rules instead of 30,000 as we are in the process of categorizing the rules to fit within these limits. Further updates on this will be provided in future releases."https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-mv3-beta.html

I delete EasylistSpanish+Easylist and add only EasylistSpanish and the new Rule limits are:

Please, I beg you, do not think badly of me.
I am just testing the effectiveness of these adblockers.
I will continue to wait until the end of THE adblocker.

uBO Lite is almost at the limit:

try to activate more lists and see what happens
I wonder where those limits come from (Google?), why exactly 330,000? What are these numbers based on?
with a cumulative limit of 330,000 for all extensions installed by a single user
So they (Google?) looked at typical number of rules in uBO (about 330,000) and decided to set limit by that (330,000) number?
