> However, the move to Manifest V3 also involves curtailing the power of extensions, including those that I trust as much or more than the browser itself. I want uBlock origin to be able to intercept and filter requests according to the logic that gorhill deems most sensible rather than however Chromium wants it to be done, since I trust gorhill far more than Google (and possibly slightly more than even Mozilla).

So what happens if gorhill's account is hacked or he gets tired of working on the extension and sells it to the highest bidder? These are not theoretical problems, they've happened multiple times in the past.

I'm not saying Manifest V3 is the perfect solution but these are very real problems that cause me to not install any extensions that can access all sites.
