That’s so wrong. They might have failed for now, but we’ll see them trying again. And again. Google is the worlds most valuable ad company. They earn billions every year by showing people ads and adblockers are costing them several billions every year. They will come back and they will try again.

The paper says otherwise.

MV3 was revised several times following legitimate concerns. Its current, final form is exactly because these concerns were raised.

Yep. Thank you for bringing more context.

So? It didn’t mean the end of adblocking on Chromium and everybody with 2 working brain cell already knew that in advance.
