I've read that too, but I still have the ability to add a custom list. It says initially, so I assumed they got around that issue by now, considering it isn't the case for me.
I technically use Edge which afaik still allows MV2, so in case the extension somehow implements both and defaults to mv2 if available, I've decided to install Chrome and get ABP there to test. Even in Chrome, the ability to add a custom list is still there. As are all the other features, like manual updating. With custom list I mean both the ability to add a list per URL, and the ability to add custom arbitrary rules directly.
I don't really see why element blocking wouldn't be possible or allowed under Manifest v3. Like, it's entirely client-side. Manifest never comes into play there.
What I can imagine is that custom lists might work that same way too, removing the ads from the page after they've already loaded rather than blocking the web request directly which is afaik how adblocking works in mv2. I can't tell you if that's the case or not.
Probably because of the Adblock Plus mention. It's mired in controversy because of its acceptable ads toggle and requiring ad giants to pay for it. So I can imagine people downvoting comments that put it in a positive light compared to other adblockers.
Thanks! Does Lemmy display something when people have their cake day so it's easily visible? Mbin (which I use) doesn't, so I wasn't actually aware until I saw your comment.
They mentioned the flaws of both platforms.
In our case, it's no established support for moving accounts.
Thanks for that edit.
Does it get stored there, or does it get forwarded to lemmy.world and stored there? If sh.itjust.works shuts down, does this comment disappear with it?
Your own content gets stored on your own instances and every instance it's federated with. It's not sh.itjust.works or lemmy.world, it's both of them.
I'm a bit confused as an Adblock Plus user, why did the ublock dev drop those features? ABP uses manifest v3 too and it still has all of those. So it's clearly not about them being impossible.
Oh, that's what I meant. And Mbin calls it following too. I just said "subscribing" because it's the same action behind the scenes, just different terms to refer to it, and I was using "communities" first in the same sentence.

There's Interstellar which is made by the admin of my instance. I don't know if the Mbin devs have plans for their own official app.
Not sure what the point of public upvotes is,
Well, you can see who upvoted something. kbin also allowed seeing downvotes, but that got removed because of worries about harassment.
By looking at who upvoted a specific post you liked, you can find like-minded people to follow. I also find it cool to see the different instances and platforms the upvotes come from.
Boosting is a bit complicated. It's supposed to be retweeting basically, and does work that way under the hood. Posts boosted from Mbin do appear that way from Mastodon. However, I don't think Mbin itself currently treats boosts as more than just an even more public upvote (with regular upvotes you can see who upvoted a post, not what posts a user upvoted; boosts are publically listed on profiles).
No, defederating is just a single instance blocking another instance, not the entire fediverse doing so.
