    If you're going to put it in a bag for a week, why not use some kind of hibernation feature?

    As another commenter said, sometimes upgrades require manual intervention. You can fix this using a tool like informant which shows you all the interventions you have to do before …

    No adblocking extension would ever rely on a clear bug to function. Google reviews extension code and would immediately patch the bug, and maybe use it as an excuse to kick the ext…

    Also, dude, from your other comments: "What a selfish dickhead, helping them make better nooses to put around everyone's necks (including his own)." And "People like this are enemi…

    Hi, I appreciate your opinion, but really disagree. First of all, this is one bug, and most of the ones I find don't "act against user's interests" (not that this one could have be…

    I think the trouble is that certain adblocking features (like skipping ads on YouTube, Twitch, etc) require modifying the page you're viewing in your browser; just filtering networ…

    Yeah, this was my thought process. I get the appeal, but I don't think a million-user open-source extension is gonna start relying on a clear bug to function.

    Unfortunately extensions can't have webview perms :(

    From my experience (as a Brave user), using a User-Agent switching extension and setting it to Firefox for twitch.tv gets around that :)

    Author here, thank you! A lot of the comments here are more general arguments about MV3 and Google (which I kinda expected) but I'm glad see someone who liked my post :)

    Author here, sorry. I don't think any open-source extension (especially large adblockers with millions of users) could actually get away with using this bug, because Google is payi…

    It's always great to see interactive posts. I also appreciated the list of where Bloom filters were used in popular programs.

    True, but I don't think K12 students are the main targets of these big gray-hat companies that buy bugs for a lot of money.

    Keep in mind it's a ChromeOS only bug. They regularly get less money, because not that many people use ChromeOS.
