> We should not sacrifice the many

I don't see how forcing the many to have sub-standard ad-blocking software isn't a sacrifice of its own. Ads and tracking demonstrably harm user privacy.

We have two harms: rogue extensions siphoning off user data, and shitty ad networks eroding user privacy. I don't think we need to choose to solve only one or the other.

And it's not like MV3 really protects users from rogue extensions. It's pretty obvious it's a plan by Google to reduce the effectiveness of ad blockers; the alleged privacy improvements are an unproven excuse.
