Can't we avoid the Manifest bullshit altogether?

I remember how IE plugins roles: just dll inject into the process.

Inject dll's from the internet right into the browser. Yes, let's!

I'm not convinced that this is a good idea, but I don't think that's the reason; don't all your dlls come from the internet?

Either from the "wild" internet or manifest v3 intranet.

Or can we do better? For example, a community can maintain an opensource "network control" DLL that allow users to enable/disable tamperscript-like firewall rules from uBlock or such.
