My use cases are straightforward ... either redirect or filter the URLs. Not met a site where v3 manifest creates any issues.

Also, I don't use Chrome. :P

I used to use Redirector ... until my need changes and needed fine-grain control over what to redirect. And then I saw Request Control.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/requestcontro...

Why I replaced Redirector with Request Control is because of its much more powerful features such as match by different document types (script, image, media, etc), its in-built variable (such as {protocol}, {hostname}, {pathname}) and origin type (same origin, same domain, third party domain, etc).

However, if your need is simple, my advice is to use Redirector instead because it is really easy to understand and use. For power users, check out Request Control.
