It’s common knowledge that Manifest V2 extensions are fundamentally dangerous to privacy and security, which is why Google has been deprecating it for the more secure Manifest V3 protocol.

No, this is not common knowledge outside of Google Chrome’s PR department. I’ll invite you to read my post here and the subsequent replies in the thread, as has already been brought up here in our uBlock Origin Lite discussion:

Your assertion that content blockers provide no privacy or security is false as well, they are a critical privacy and security tool.
