> Mozilla will maintain support for blocking WebRequest in MV3. To maximize compatibility with other browsers, we will also ship support for declarativeNetRequest. We will continue to work with content blockers and other key consumers of this API to identify current and future alternatives where appropriate. Content blocking is one of the most important use cases for extensions, and we are committed to ensuring that Firefox users have access to the best privacy tools available.
This is 100% the right thing to do: let extensions use the more powerful API, while also providing the more neutered version for extensions that may not need to use the legacy version, or are designed around Chrome instead of Firefox.
There's been a fair bit of confusion regarding Mozilla and Manifest V3, but I'm glad this (somewhat) clears it up.
