- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
Sounds like chrome is going the way of Internet Explorer. Totally ignoring the W3C, and doing whatever they want. That won’t end well.
What? They all have W3C specs. Firefox just chose not to implement them.

You think you’re trashing Chrome, but you’re trashing Firefox instead.
Even line-height
in CSS3 is draft. Saying no drafts should be implemented is a ridiculous standpoint: a standpoint not even Firefox aligns with:
Standardization requirements for shipping features
What evidence is necessary will vary, but generally this will be:
W3C - the specification is at the Candidate Recommendation maturity level or more advanced; shipping from a Working Draft or a less advanced specification requires evidence of agreement within the working group that shipping is acceptable

But keep moving those goal posts.
