How does Manifest v3 compare to Safari content blocker API in terms of ad blocking capability? Currently AdGuard for Safari (from Mac App Store, the one that uses native content blocking API) has 7 content blockers categories you have to enable, and each of them allow 150k rules, amounting to over a million rules total although you can’t count it like that really. V3’s 30k per extension and 330k total sounds like a lot less.

Is there something more to it than just the amount of rules, is v3 still better than Safari?
