The contributors to EasyList should be getting their share of credit here. Basically every adblocker depends on them.
This is a great point. Does anyone know how one can contribute to easylist? It seems like something worth helping with.

You just need build infrastructure. As far as I know, you need XCode to generate the "app" that contains the extension (all extensions need to be provided by an "app" even if it doesn't have any logic in it), then code sign and upload to the App Store. There are open, third-party implementations of the code signing tools so it can be done without a Mac but it just requires effort.
I did this earlier today. The background stuff (I forget the name of what crashed at present) crashes on a vanilla conversion. It did block some ads, but wasn't full-featured.

"Google's ads" is a broad category. I imagine there's many already defeating ad blockers. They wouldn't start with adsense or their ads on google search.
I'm not really familiar with more than AdSense and Youtube (I think Youtube's ads are a separate thing, I'm not sure).

He really should. I'd pitch in 50 EUR for that.
Haha. This reminds me of a Redditor's story. Despite having no money to afford professional hardware, he still managed to take good astronomy photos using his phone. In one of his posts, his photos impressed a "kind stranger" so much that they gifted him one of the most expensive Reddit awards, whose value can buy him a third of his desired gear.
professional astronomy photos is an activity where the low end starts very expensive. Basic setups are in the thousands of dollars.
How is everyone else's MV3 upgrade going? I have 3 extensions and each one has multiple feature-breaking changes that will take hundreds of hours to implement less than ideal work arounds. I guess I'll focus on SnipCSS ( https://www.snipcss.com ) because that's the only one I have paying customers. For people who do manage the upgrade, at least we can look forward to less competition in the Chrome Web Store?

Since MV3 adds quite a lot of limits on what uBO can do, you have to grant permission for each site to have cosmetic filtering.
That limitation has nothing to do with MV3. Adguard does not suffer from this problem. Making it opt-in is a specific design consideration that gorhill took with this version of uBlock to reduce its permission scope. I wish people were not so quick to share misinformation like this.
For some reason people are just itching to spread FUD about this topic and Google in general. I don't understand where it comes from or why it happens but it's really annoying.
I'm really really really hoping that the non-crippled version, which works in Firefox, doesn't die the way uMatrix did (loved it, still miss it). That said, huge thanks to gorhill and all the others working on this project!
