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

Hopefully ladybird finalizes some day, so we have more options than one

Of course they will, it's their main selling point.

Guys, just FYI - other adblocks still work. I'm using Ghostery on Vivaldi (Chromium-based) and it works perfectly fine, including blocking ads during YouTube videos.

No idea why uBlock specifically is being blocked, but it's not like you can't have an ad-blocker anymore.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't uBlock the most capable adblock, with others coming close but not reaching it?

That's the only reason, I use it. And I knew Firefox would be the only one remaining when I switched to it the very moment, Chromium stopped supporting uBlock Origin.

Vivaldi phases it out? I haven't been off mobile in a while so I didn't know that was planned. Waterfox still does ok.

It's not ready yet but there's the ladybird project that has a lot of promise. I appreciate FF a lot but their code base is a mess, they need a modern rewrite of their browser engine. That's why we're getting all these chromium based browsers, it's just a better base to build off of.
