> There is no evidence the change is being made with the intent of getting rid of adblockers
So far there is only one rationale that could describe the motivation to make this change. Can you propose another possible motive? I am personally struggling.
My understanding of the changes is that they make sense for most extensions, but gorhill's addons are being negatively impacted by them because of the way they were implemented. You'll note it's still possible to implement content blocking in the new system.
As others have pointed out the blacklist capabilities are severely inhibited in the new system. Could you elaborate on how the changes make sense? It feels like their messaging behind this is off if their intent truly is benign.
