isnt manifest v3 supposed to help with these issues?

I have no real idea about the details of manifest v3, but they’ve already made it come true and it didn’t stop this from happening, so that tends to lead to me believing not.

It was all a lie? V3 won’t magically fix everything?

It’ll “fix” the adblockers. As in “we had our dog fixed.”
