Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules
That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...
> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.
What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.
It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.
> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.
This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
For an extension to be entirely declarative, it must package all the scripts to inject anywhere, the scripting.registerContentScript API doesn't allow injecting code as string[1], the content scripts must be part of the package.[2]
There is userScripts API which allows injecting code as string, but it's impractical as in Chromium-based browsers this requires extra steps by the user to enable the API.[3] In Firefox, the documentation for this API has the following note[4]:
> When using Manifest V3 or higher, use scripting.registerContentScripts() to register scripts

Chrome pushes forward with plans to limit ad blockers in the future
AIUI it's because declarativeNetRequests requires the filters to be specified statically, see https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/decla...
Also note that the site you linked is for UBlock, which is a different extension from UBlock Origin. The UBlock Origin Lite (UBlock Origin for MV3) page has an explanation: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as...
- UBlockOrigin Lite (partially) works on Safari

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox
> The author's description even seems to praise Manifest v3 in the same way Google PR did.
No, it simply declares the goal of that add-on: to fully comply with declarative ways of MV3 and its limitations, and no uBO extended features that need workarounds to be implemented.
He's more strict to Lite than full version:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/17
-
uBlock Origin 1.50.0
Obviously a project like this has already been offered 7-figure deals already: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-issues/issues/44
And he declined all.
