Comment on Mozilla’s Manifest v3 FAQparent

Was wondering about that too - but this seems to be just a Spectre defense, not a change in what extensions can do.

The change[1] only affects content scripts because they run in the same process as the website. You're still able to fetch arbitrary origins in a background page. So GM has to move the fetch to the background page, then send the content to the script via message passing.
