How so? From what I've read, the whole point of the declarative API is to tell the browser what you want done so that it can do it without letting the extension actually touch any data.
If this doesn't work, then there's no point to the new API.
The webrequest api didn't got removed completely, only the part for modify/block request.
Only ad blockers will stole your data and others that logs them however they want will log them nicely? What world are Google's team lives in? Are we even on the same time line?
I see. I agree, that's pure bullshit. Google's intentions are transparent.
Can you confirm the new declarative APIs work as intended? Maybe they do restrict extensions. I agree that it's pointless if they don't remove the older APIs.
No, they won't. You can still log requests however you want. The only difference is you can't modify/stop it. So the privacy concern is pure BS.
