Wow, that whole article and not a single mention of Firefox!
Firefox still supports Manifest V2, which allows for more efficient and accurate blocking of advertising. (Among other things.)

Just look at this very thread, every other comment is just about Firefox and not the content of the post itself.
The article mentioned Safari a couple of times, I don't see why the fact that Firefox will support both V2 and V3 indefinitely doesn't deserve a single mention.
Moreover, manifest V3 was essentially a massive middle finger from Google to everyone else (except advertisers), and it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there.
I can guarantee you that the people that need to be converter won't be reading this article, any more than they will be visiting HN.
> The article mentioned Safari a couple of times
Hmm, I only see it mentioned once, and it makes sense in context, because Safari suffers from the same Declarative API issue (they actually did it long before chrome did).
> it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there
Again, that discussion has been had ad nauseum, nothings being contributed by mentioning it again.
