Manifest V3
Manifest V3 is the third version of the manifest structure associated with multiple Google extensions and projects. It came into controversy recently due to it negatively affecting adblockers[1]. Because Chromium would be updated to use Manifest V3, said changes would potentially affect all browsers based on Chromium (most notably Chrome itself) thereby hindering or disabling the use of adblockers in said browsers.
Note that the problem is not the introduction of Manifest V3 per se, but the associated discontinuation of Manifest V2.
