This reminds me of how adblocking software worked great when only a handful of nerds used it. Then when adblocking became more mainstream, sites bothered to develop workarounds to make ads show up anyway. Adblockers now try to develop workarounds to the workarounds, but it's a constant battle.

Was it great when I was the only one with adblocking software? Yeah, for me. But it was worse for society as a whole, most of whose members had no adblocking whatsoever.

And now we have the majority-share browser vendor Google moving to cripple ad blockers with ManifestV3.

So I guess we're winning?

We as in tech nerds, or we as in whole society?

We just need some proper laws to remove the possibility of interfering with adblocking software
