What is lost by going to this version?

Ad blocking on Youtube.
Youtube-blocking Safari extensions “solve” Youtube blocking by using non-declarative APIs that need full access to Youtube. Apple seems ok with that so far, but the APIs are not as goods, so their success rate is limited.
Whether Google will allow new extensions that block Youtube remains to be seen.
On iPad I just use Brave and haven't seen an ad yet.
It works way better for Youtube than the one I had, and after some more testing I don't need the additional annoyance blockers I had. I might just go back to Safari!
Thanks for the recommendation.
uBlock Origin Lite blocks all ads on YouTube for me.
why didn't you notice before? ublock origin has a special quick fixes list which updates very frequently, without Google's involvement
but with manifest v3: Google are now in charge and have to approve all "definition" updates
which they will only do once they've got a new detection method ready
and this is the entire point of manifest v3
No, they don't. MV3 extensions are allowed to fetch remote data which definition updates would be.
Someone else is saying uBlock Origin Lite leaves a "skippable blank" where the ad used to be, while I know for a fact uBlock Origin completely and transparently skipped over the ad.
Could you confirm?
But you have to change the toggle from basic filtering mode to complete filtering mode.
I think some people just haven't realized that.
For most websites I don’t care but there are many websites that I visit very often and removing annoying or useless elements and padding is practically mandatory at this point - I wouldn’t want to go back to not being able to do it.
So, answering your question, yes, “useless” was hyperbole.
