See rgorhill's comment from 2018:

It's not just about the limit.

Didn't gorhill update its view with the change made since to the v3?

The limit is still 30k. As is typical with Chrome's devrel (they did the exact same thing with Web Audio multiple times) they tell the web community that they are going to fix problems, and then just don't fix anything and go ahead and ship a bad product. At best shouting about it gets a delay so you have more time to plan for the fact that they're shooting your product or service in the head.
All of the new Audio APIs are abused on a daily basis by ad networks for egregious fingerprinting. Google absolutely doesn't care because they directly profit from it.

You are not wrong.

The fact that they indicated to increase the rule limit for over a year but haven't done so yet (the beta still has a limit of 30k) doesn't seem like they really have addressed the drawbacks. I wouldn't think increasing that limit would take that much time if it's a pressing issue but maybe I'm missing something.

> Additionally, we are currently planning to change the rule limit from maximum of 30k rules per extension to a global maximum of 150k rules.
Then STFU and do it, it's a 30s change. If you haven't done it yet, it's just another lie.
Additionally, we are currently planning to change the rule limit from maximum of 30k rules per extension to a global maximum of 150k rules.
The Declarative Net Request API now allows for the registration and removal of dynamic rules - specified at runtime rather than statically in the manifest. We’ve also added the capability to remove common tracking headers, such as Referer, Cookie, and Set-Cookie.
The blocking version of the Web Request API remains available for managed extensions because of the deep integrations that enterprises may have between their software suites and Chrome.
It seems that the publicized drawbacks have been addressed, which drawbacks remains? What could prevent uBlock Origin support?
