This can be problem for Firefox and Chromium based Browsers, too. If the Website decides that Manifest v3 is mandatory to visit their site, they can block any access from Browsers with v2 running in the background easier than before.

With the WebM-Format they use it might be possible. It's based on Matroska and there is a feature to replace or add chunks within the stream in realtime.
In Germany, there is a law that regulates the amount and intervals of advertising for private television broadcasters: 20% or 1/5 per broadcast day may be used for advertising. Programs that are shorter than 30 minutes may have a break, otherwise there must be 20 minutes between commercial breaks - 30 minutes in the evening. Unfortunately, there are still some loopholes.
Children's programs are not allowed to have commercial breaks.
It's a shame that this law still doesn't apply to YouTube.
Maybe they want to compete with the price per subscription: let's say they want to charge 5 € per month for Photo, Design and Publisher each, against 26 € for Photoshop (alone).
Remembering the situation when Macromedia was bought bei Adobe – now I have the same vibes again. Five years later nothing was left except Flash – that horrible piece of software – and Dreamweaver – I liked that one. The best transition back then was from Freehand to Illustrator and (consequently from Quark) to InDesign.
And then in 2015 to Affinity. So ... 5 years with Corel, 12 years with Adobe/Macromedia, now 8 years with Affinity, so far ... let's see what they do and what we decide afterwards.
A VM does the job. For me as a Manjaro user at home have no problems with flexibility. And as an Apple Mac User at work there can't be more suffering. 😜
"Somebody still uses Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign?" – I am using Affinity since 2016 ... and saved more than 4K € subscription costs. 🤑
Right now at work I would use one but my phone (Xperia XZ3) doesn't have a headphone jack. So I use an old Bluetooth Headset with a jack. The whole setup were presents from friends and my boss, so I wouldn't complain about any of that. 📱🎧 👍
But thinking about it: It's totally stupid to build a phone without a headphone jack. My previous phone (XZ) 🥲 had one and it was waterproof.
