Correction:

Analytics & Ad Blocker by Globemallow.io https://globemallow.io/ was the first Manifest v3 Ad Block extension.

I first published on 06/22/2022.

Last night actually I asked if AdGuard would want to license the software, and sent them a link to my extension. They are aware they weren't the first, and made this post after knowing it.

This is interesting if true. How can people verify that your extension is compatible with Manifest V3? I can see on the Chrome Web Store that the latest version of your extension was published before the latest version of AdGuard (August 23, 2022 vs August 30, 2022) so there's that.

You can add a Chrome Source Code Viewer. I like this one. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-extension-s...

Then look in the Manifest.json for manifest_version.

Here's the Twitter showing the timeline: https://twitter.com/GlobeMallow_io

The best part is AdGuard is still running manifest v2.

Maybe their "technically" perspective is that they built theirs before you built yours. Or they're assuming they did. Even though you published first. It didn't say theirs was the first to be published, just the first to be built
