Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

It still blocks ads, what else does it need?

On the off chance that you're not being sarcastic: blocking the other crap like trackers

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ghostery blocks trackers. So does AdGuard. So does Privacy Badger. All of them work perfectly fine regardless of Manifest version.

So? What's the issue here, exactly?

I can't say it better than the person working on it

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

OK, that's a good write-up of what capabilities are missing. What I don't see there is the end-user impact.

Ads are blocked nicely, so that's not the issue. I'm assuming that some privacy related stuff falls through the cracks?

I honestly don't know more than that, sorry
