This is the first Adblock Plus version that is based on the Manifest v3 extension format. For now this change only affects users on Chrome. Users on Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Opera will remain on Manifest v2 for the time being, so this release only includes some minor changes for them. Eventually, we are going to switch over to Manifest v3 on all platforms and we are continuing to monitor and test support for Manifest v3 on those platforms.
Snippets changes

Known issues due to Manifest v3 limitations
- The size of the extension package has increased significantly. We are investigating various ways to reduce the size of future Adblock Plus versions.
- Filter lists from third-party sources have been disabled temporarily and won’t show up in the extension’s settings. Those filter lists will be restored with a subsequent update.
- Filter lists may fail to update. This problem is more likely to occur for users with many custom filters.
- Filter lists may fail to install. This problem is more likely to occur for users who have other content-filtering extensions enabled.
- Custom filters may fail to be added.
