    Was there any actual justification/benefit to it, other than the obvious attempt to cripple adblockers? I don’t remember seeing anyone say anything positive about it. And, if not, and adblockers apparently are working well anyway, then what was the point?

      Their justification was to improve security for extensions, and while it did do that, it also crippled adblockers in their first iterations, and it was clear that was a goal initially.
