Many developers initially spoke out against the declarativeNetRequest API, saying it was too limited, but Google has been improving it. It now supports more types of wildcard operators, similar to how most content blockers formatted their own lists. However, Google is still keeping a relatively-low cap on the number of rules an extension can have, which will undoubtedly not sit well with some developers. Extensions can only apply a maximum of 30,000 rules, which sounds like a high number, but EasyList (one of the more common blocklists) alone has over 60,000 rules. Google told 9to5Google that the limit will be raised to 300,000 in Chrome 89, which is better, but still not enough to have more than a few common blocklists activated at once.
