Powerful extensions do not need powerful code
Summary
The article discusses how Gosub rethinks Chrome MV3 by moving permission logic from manifest to explicit capabilities, enabling powerful extensions with minimal code. It explains capabilities-based grants, how combinations of permissions are presented to users, and introduces a native filter engine for ad blockers that runs inside the browser. The piece argues this approach preserves extension power for advanced users while reducing risk and complexity for general users, and notes the design is still a prototype with ongoing work.
