Feel the power of the Manifest v3
Devils advicate: I know hating on manifest V3 is popular. I know especially content-blockers (which I myself enjoy!) face issues with the new permissions model.<p>That said, I&#x27;ve ported an above moderately complex extension from manifest V2 to V3 and found the experience quite OK.<p>* The permission model is more clearly defined.<p>* Background-workers instead of background-pages makes for a more consistent API. IMO background-pages were always weird.<p>* Usage of obsolete APIs which may have &quot;suddenly&quot; failed in V2, now actually immediately causes runtime-failures in V3, making sure you&#x27;ve get all of them upgraded.<p>* You need to be explicit when doing &quot;dangerous&quot; things like injecting scripts. There&#x27;s nothing accidental about this. This clearly improves security.<p>* Time taken? Roughly one work-day.<p>* No functionality lost.<p>Right now, as a developer, my only complain about V3 for this extension... That I no longer can have a single, consistent codebase for the Chrome and Firefox-versions, because Firefox doesn&#x27;t yet support V3 in their regular end-user builds. But once they do, that problem will be solved too.<p>And as an end-user, I really feel this security-model makes extensions which can operate within the V3-constraints more trustworthy than similar extensions implemented using V2.
