Google, which makes most of its money from online ads, insists it wants ad blockers to continue working under the latest, more locked-down iteration of its Chrome browser extension platform, known as Manifest v3. We have been working closely with the developers of many extensions – including ad blockers, shopping extensions, productivity enhancements, developer tools, and more – to evolve the platform, said David Li, Chrome product Manager and Simeon Vincent, Chrome developer advocate, in a blog post on Wednesday.
To emphasize that point, the post quotes Sofia Lindberg, tech lead at Adblock Plus maker Eyeo – paid by Google and others not to block their ads – offering a similar assurance that ad-blocking extensions will still be available after Manifest v3 takes effect.
