Google said in the forum post, 'We are planning to raise these values but we won't have updated numbers until we can run performance tests to find a good upper bound that will work across all supported devices.' To give you an idea of how the limit might affect ad blockers, EasyList (the main set of rules that most ad blockers use) currently has around 76,000 rules.

The current limit is 30,000 during installation, plus 5,000 while running. Extensions will be able to define blocking rules in two ways: during installation, and while running.

Google went on to highlight the improvements it has made to the new declarativeNetRequest API since it was first introduced. 'Chrome is deprecating the blocking capabilities of the webRequest API in Manifest V3,' a developer advocate at Google wrote in a forum post, 'not the entire webRequest API (though blocking will still be available to enterprise deployments).' In other words, content blockers will have to move to the new limited API at some point, or they'll stop working for regular people. Google has spent the last few months thinking it over, but for the most part, the company is sticking to its existing plan. Many developers, most notably the creator of uBlock Origin and uMatrix, spoke out against the proposed changes. Instead of extensions doing the network filtering themselves, they would provide a filter list that Chrome itself would parse. The change that received the most (negative) publicity was Google's intention to replace the existing webRequest API, used by every content blocking extension, with a more limited declarativeNetRequest API. Google has been working on Manifest V3 for a while now, with both new functionality and changes to existing browser features. The current platform used by Chrome extensions is called Manifest V2, which was introduced in 2012. However, the company is mostly sticking to its guns.ДЇirst, let's rewind a bit. The proposed replacement API wouldn't be as powerful or flexible, so both users and developers forwarded their complaints to Google.

Google has provided an official statement about the proposed changes:Д®arlier this year, Google got the internet riled up when it tentatively planned to remove the APIs that content blocking extensions - including ad blockers - use.

вЂњIвЂ™ve just been told that LiCybora, the author of the Firefox Nano extensions, has full control over the Firefox extensions,' the post noted. In a post on Github, Hill advised users to remove the extensions as they вЂњshould be considered malware.' Another developer who goes by the name вЂresynth1943вЂ™, stated that the Firefox versions of Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender are safe as they are managed by different developers. Among the users who pointed the malicious modifications with the two ad blocker extensions was Raymond Hill whose the author of the uBlock Origin adblocker. The malicious codes were not part of the original versions but were uploaded in the last two weeks - after their sale, the reported added. The report notes that the Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender extensions on Google Chrome were available on browserвЂ™s store for more than a year however, its developers sold the applications to вЂњa team of Turkish developers' earlier this month.
