Mozilla is the maker of the famous Firefox browser which has been using its own web engine called “Gecko” since forever, and hence, is not affected at all by these moves from Google.

You answered your own question. It doesn't effect FF.

But, I do agree they should use the downgrade in functionality of V3 as a point for advertising FF.

What good would advertising "Still supporting Manifest V2" do for your average user? They also wouldn't want to openly advertise that "Your ad block still works with us".

Most sane take in this whole thread.

Some of y'all get a little conspiratorial.

That is literally the premise of the article
