Google maintains its plans to hinder the development of extensions dedicated to ad blocking in your Google Chrome browser, which will disable them from January next year.

Mountain View Company controls your browser through the so-called. Manifestoa text file that lists some specifications of the supported plugins.

In this document, the company defines what system resources are available, the permissions it grants to extensions, or application programming interfaces (APIfor its English abbreviation) to which they have access.

Google’s plan against ad blockers

The company has published a proposal to change its open source browser base. chromium, in which he detailed a number of measures applied to a specific API, WebRequest. Due to these changes, most ad blocker features will be removed.

Then, Google justified by the fact that with this action he sought to increase the speed of the browser, without depending on these extensions to filter network requests. He also said that it would protect Confidentiality users.

In September 2021, Google released a version 2 support schedule. Manifestoa roadmap that lists January 2022 as the starting point for its termination.

As for the roadmap for 2023, this roadmap assumed that in January 2023 developers would no longer be able to update their extensions in Manifest V2, and in June 2023 they would stop working in Manifest V2. Chromium.

In this way, Manifest V3 invalidates Web Request API for developers, a format that allows you to integrate these extensions into the browser and extend its blocking features.

In fact, this API allows you to monitor the traffic between the browser and the website, and then modify or block requests to specific domains, as described above. Chromium on their developer page.

However, this feature also allows hackers steal user credentials and even change and add extra ads to web pages as highlighted The VergeThe reason why Google I would turn it off.

Thus, in Manifest V3, the WebRequest API was replaced with a declarative network request, which has already been enhanced. Google on my blog in June 2019. Unlike the first, the new interface revisits the request to block extensions and registers rules that tell the browser what to do if certain types of requests are filtered out.

The change is consistent with the company’s filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in late 2021, which cites “new and existing technologies” as a “risk factor” that blocks online ads.

The developers of these ad blockers have expressed concern about the possible impact of this change on other browsers based on chromiumWhich microsoft edge, Opera D Braveaccording to the American media.
