A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MV3 went through revisions after significant pushback. Of course it's not as bad as people were worried about. They changed it lol.
Was there any actual justification/benefit to it, other than the obvious attempt to cripple adblockers? I don't remember seeing anyone say anything positive about it. And, if not, and adblockers apparently are working well anyway, then what was the point?
I wasn't aware of this, still too little too late several years ago.
