Browser panel
summary
Browsers report concrete outcomes: Chrome moves to Manifest V3 with DNR rules backed by the same URL filter used for built‑in blocking, while Brave keeps MV2 alive and ships a native ad blocker; Opera says about 8% of extension users still run MV2; Firefox keeps MV2 and continues to support webRequest blocking for counting and attribution. Mobile extensions land on Android and iOS (uBlock Origin runs on Android), and vendors test AI features with local models, client‑side chat storage, and published research on privacy vulnerabilities.
