About Firefox ad blockers
And Vivaldi that have their "own" built-in ad blockers. I wonder how those will be affected by MV3. Do the browser devs make their own proprietary ad blockers or are they just borrowed from the Google store and will still carry the same MV3 burdens?C.H. #8 The built-in adblockers as for example Brave are not affected.They don't use an extension: Google's upcoming Manifest V3 update for extensions has the potential to break many ad blockers. But Manifest V3 will not prevent Brave from blocking ads. We built ad blocking into the browser itself so it will not be affected by Google changing its rules for extensions. Vivaldi: Manifest V3, webRequest, and ad blockers Vivaldi comes with its own built-in Ad and Tracker Blocker, tons of customization options, a built-in Mail and Calendar, and more. Will it follow Google’s strict reliance on Manifest V3? vivaldi.com #9 I am sorry to see Firefox caving in to Google and MV3 like this. I had really hoped FF and Mozilla would stick to their guns and not go along with MV3. Mozilla not adopting MV3 sounds like a good idea in theory, but the effect of not doing so will mean extension developers won't be able to easily port their Chrome extensions to Firefox, thus they'll likely stop developing for Firefox altogether. Now I wonder about the specialty type browsers like Avast/AVG Secure browser or Brave and Vivaldi that have their "own" built-in ad blockers. I wonder how those will be affected by MV3. Do the browser devs make their own proprietary ad blockers or are they just borrowed from the Google store and will still carry the same MV3 burdens? Brave's ad blocker won't be impacted. Vivaldi believes theirs won't be impacted either. Can't speak for Avast/AVG; as far as I'm aware they haven't addressed whether it'll impact their browsers or not.@Gandalf_The_Grey Beat me to it. #10 Adblocking will continue to work in Firefox for now. So that's not a concern for the near future. Excluding this uncomfortable issue of ad blocking, I do think that MV3 is good for improving browser security. So Mozilla won't stay behind the pack and make it more difficult for extension developers. But I have doubts about how long they'll be able to keep supporting the old API. I think they should follow Brave and build their own browser integrated adblocker free from the MV3 impact. This

It interferes with Google’s business model.Are ad blockers illegal?In short, you’re free to block ads, but interfering with the publisher’s right to serve or restrict access to copyrighted content in a manner they approve of (access control) is illegal. Facebook is one of the companies known for successfully fighting back hard against ad blockers.Is AdBlock unethical?Because ad blockers reduce the value of those ads (because few people see them), by blocking ads you’re making it harder for those people to make a living. Subverting the display of the ads is getting something of value (the content) without paying for it (seeing the ad), which is a textbook case of unethical behavior.Does AdBlock make internet faster?If you use a browser with a built-in adblock, it will load web pages faster than a browser without an adblocker.Do ad blockers speed up the Internet?No. Ad-blockers don’t make your internet faster so you can play Fortnite without lag or watch Netflix without buffering.Is AdBlock Plus better than AdBlock?In our tests, Adblock was slower in both Chrome and Firefox. The more tabs you have open, the slower they run and enabling and disabling Adblock while testing multiple tabs shows a slight but noticeable slowdown in browser speed. Adblock Plus copes better with multiple tabs and works very well in Firefox.Do ads drain battery?Using ad-based apps drains an average of 16% more energy, which shortens the battery’s life cycle from 2.5 to 2.1 hours on average, or 1.7 hours during constant use.Does uBlock origin drain battery?Compared to the ad-blocking browsers, Brave still consumed less battery power, as much as 20 per cent less, though Firefox with uBlock Origin, at 90mAh, on average, was close to Brave’s sub-80mAh.Do Safari Extensions drain battery?Possible, but unlikely. Depends on how aggressive your content blocker is, and how complex the rules are. Generally, you’ve have a net savings by not downloading all the additional resources and rendering them.Do ad blockers work on Funimation?The first way: Using the AdBlock software Yes, we know what you are thinking, Funimation does not allow you to stream content if you have the ad-block turned on,
