If you're talking about element blocking, that's still doable in manifest v3 with injected css elements. That's how it was done in manifest v2.

Is it? I didn't realise. I always use Firefox anyway. So which part isn't possible now? JavaScript injection?

Ps changed the term to avoid confusion, thanks!

The webRequestBlocking api, which allows the extension to inspect all request/responses in real time and act on them. With manifest v3 the extension can only supply a list of expressions to block, and the expressions that can be used is very limited.
