by Chrome they usually mean chromium and all of its derivatives since those will also get mv3 unless they specifically opt out
both privacy and security are important and neither one is going to save you from a social engineering attack.
and besides, trusting on your users to only go to well known websites isn't something you should rely on.

tbh Google isn't blocking ad blockers with manifest v3.
