> Benefits of the Manifest V3: none

V3 not allowing remote code execution is actually a serious benefit. Of course, this does not negate the fact that V3 is mainly there to boost the ad ecosystem of Google, but I'd never want my screen casting extension to be mining bitcoin on the background. That said, I'm not sure how this is going to scale long term, given that it sometimes takes 2+ weeks for the web store review team to approve a genuine one-line change. Lack of RCE is only going to make this review backlog bigger.
