It's expected to be trivial to block ads in Manifest v3. The API is a more powerful version of Safari's API which also allows adblocking.
uBlock Origin may not be willing to change, but other adblockers will fill that niche.

No, that's a lie. Manifest v3 is carefully designed to allow spying, but prevent blocking.

Can you substantiate that claim? What can't be effectively blocked, and how was it "carefully designed" to allow spying?

I've seen this issue report before. It doesn't substantiate the earlier claims made though. Particularly as these comments predate the improvements made to declarativeNetRequest since this issue was posted.

Basically it still does all capabilities needed by the extentions.
