Having been a avid uBlock Origin user since when it came out in 2014 even before both Adblock and Adblock Plus headed over to the dark side.
I need to check out if [Wayback/Archive] uBlock Origin Lite is good enough now that Google is phasing out Manifest V2 (on which uBlock Origin and other ad blockers depend to provide full functionality).
When it isn’t, I might switch to Firefox or Brave as it should still support Manifest V2 as per
- [Wayback/Archive] Ublock origin still fine when chrome announced implementation of manifest V3? : uBlockOrigin.
- [Wayback/Archive] Brave Software on X: “We realize many of our users still want to use third-party ad blocker extensions. To give you as many options as possible for online privacy and security, Brave will support Manifest V2 extensions such as uBlock Origin even after Chrome stops doing so.”
Firefox for instance has some drawbacks with input handling when editing WordPress posts which Chromium based web-browsers (including Brave) don’t have.
