I saw V2 extensions will be disabled but in my lack of webdev experience I fail to point to what is prohibitive in V3 that uBlock Origin cannot migrate to.

Anyone have a better understanding and can clue us in?

It won't allow the extension access to the requests. This is good for securityin general, but that's kinda important to what ad blockers do.

The replacement is that they can provide the browser with a list of rules to block. The problem is that there is a max length to that list that is something like 1/3 of the current block list.

What is to prevent the chrome developers from selectivity bypassing the content of the block list in the future?
