Will Bitdefender Anti-Tracker/Ad-block be updated to Manifest V3?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

See this article, which states "coming soon". I believe it is already in there, but when Google disabled Manifest v2, then Ad Blockers will no longer function it seems.

Since yesterday, Google has started permanently disabling extensions based on Manifest V2.

As for Bitdefender Anti-Tracker and Bitdefender TrafficLight web browser extensions, they have already been upgraded to Manifest V3.

Now, talking about Manifest V3 based ad blockers (any of them), they still function, but their filters have been significantly narrowed down.

As Flexx pointed out, the Bitdefender Anti-Tracker and TrafficLight web browser extensions have already been upgraded to Manifest V3 and I can confirm this. As for the Ad blocker included in the Bitdefender VPN, since this doesn't actually use an extension, no changes have been made here.
