    Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

      A lot of web browsers use chromium, which is the chrome engine. So anything that they want to add from the new manifest will eventually be added the engine. Firefox had a different engine, so they were not affected by the new manifest. However, they will sell our data from now on, so the Firefox engine is also not a choice anymore.

      So that leaves not a lot of options.
