My opinion after porting several large extension projects to the space is... bad.  It&amp;#x27;s a bad set of changes as implemented in chromium right now.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>blibble</author><text>I was fully in the Google world prior to gorhill&amp;#x27;s posts on manifest v3&lt;p&gt;as a direct result the only thing I have left is a pixel phone, which will be going with the new iPhone&lt;p&gt;(and in the meantime my entire family has been &amp;#x27;helpfully&amp;#x27; migrated too)&lt;p&gt;I may be up the extreme end of the distribution, but this sort of grassroots push is what dethroned IE, and the resultant loss of control of the web eliminated Microsoft&amp;#x27;s near total influence over the computing industry</text></comment>

Otherwise I&amp;#x27;ll continue to use Chrome because it&amp;#x27;s a better browser (for me). I don&amp;#x27;t think I&amp;#x27;m some rare minority here.</text></comment>
