Chrome (and hence, Chromium-based browsers … presumably including Brave) will implement “Manifest V3” starting in January 2023. Here are some details from a recent Google blog post.
This isn’t new news. An Electronic Frontier Foundation post from December 2021 doesn’t pull its punches or candy-coat its critical opinion of “Manifest V3”. Here’s another more recent detailed discussion from Ars Technica I’ve read.
I’m unclear how — if at all — “Manifest V3” will affect Brave users. Both the EFF post and the discussion in Ars suggest use of ad-blocking extensions will be impacted, but I’ve read no discussion of whether “Manifest V3” will affect how stuff like Brave’s privacy-protecting “shields” will be affected.
