Firefox 109 (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/109.0/releasenotes/) brings manifest v3 support
What are we talking about? (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/heres-whats-going-on-in-the-world-of-extensions/)
Maniwhat, now? Version who?
2018, Google proposes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nPu6Wy4LWR66EFLeYInl3NzzhHzc-qnk4w4PX-0XMw8/edit#) Manifest v3.
July 2019, The EFF notes. (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/googles-plans-chrome-extensions-wont-really-help-security)
Then in September of 2019, Firefox responded (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest-v3-faq/) to the Manifest v3 announcement.
April 2020, Vivaldi, with version 3.0, debuts its ad and tracker blocker (https://vivaldi.com/blog/1-day-2-big-vivaldi-browser-releases/) as a means to bypass (https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/) the manifest v3 issue altogether.
Brave had always had an ad blocker, but beefed up (https://brave.com/improved-ad-blocker-performance/) its performance and ability in 2019.
November 2020, Google finalizes and publishes Manifest v3 (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/).
December 2021, The EFF reminds us (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-still-hurts-privacy-security-innovation).
uBlock Origin Lite (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/a559f5f2715c58fea4de09330cf3d06194ccc897) exists.
