At Tor, we are very concerned about Google's plan to retire Manifest v2 and introduce Manifest v3.

This will not only affect privacy overall,

  but also the ability for volunteers to support censored users around the world with Snowflake extension on Chrome.

Google’s Manifest V3 Still Hurts Privacy, Security, and Innovation

It's been over two years since our initial response to Google's Manifest V3 proposal.

Manifest V3 is the latest set of changes to the Chrome browser’s rules for browser extensions.

I really hope this would stimulate more people to use Firefox again.

I’ve been using Firefox for years now from Chrome as part of a full degoogling. It’s great, and the team keeps adding actually useful features to the browser.

I did admittedly like the dev experience more on Chrome, but Firefox still does an okay job.

I can’t say there is much else I miss. I’ve never been tempted to install chrome. No issues or worries with plugins, data abuse, and all the other concerns.

Same here. I've not had Chrome installed on my main driver for years now. Firefox is great.
