Google Chrome risks becoming an inferior browser, at least when it comes to blocking invasive ads. Google replaced Manifest V2 with Manifest V3, forcing extension developers to adopt a less effective technology in exchange for a claimed increase in overall browser security. However, Opera Software recently confirmed that it will not follow suit and will retain Manifest V2 support in its Chromium-based browser.
