    They also are rolling out a modified version of Manifest V3 that restores the ad blocker capability that Google was disabling.

      Well y’know what, if the cost of that is some backed in ads on the new tab page I am totally good with that.

      YouTube allows just about any ads on their site, so many recent examples of scams and malicious sites advertising on there.

        Yeah, I don’t love Manifest V3 adoption, just for what it implies about Google’s ability to push standards it wants. (Is google even pretending it’s not purposely targeting ad blockers with V3?) But if you have to, this is the way to go.
