Google sent me a statement over email, which reads: "We're happy to see Mozilla supporting Manifest V3, which is intended to make extensions safer for everyone.

However, this will limit the capabilities of certain types of privacy extensions without adequate replacement. Unfortunately, that power has also been used to harm users in a variety of ways Chrome’s solution in MV3 was to define a more narrowly scoped API (declarativeNetRequest) as a replacement. “One of the most controversial changes of Chrome’s MV3 approach is the removal of blocking WebRequest, which provides a level of power and flexibility that is critical to enabling advanced privacy and content blocking features.
