I thought that was the shit Chrome was doing to block adblockers and antimalware plugins, if Firefox is doing the same thing what browser do we use now? :-(
I don’t care about all the browser wars stuff, I lost interest when it was Netscape Vs IE, I just want a browser that I can configure fully myself and have it be as safe and secure as one can make it, within reason.

They’re doing a modified version of V3 that they changed to restore ad-blocking functionality.
Probably due to automatic extension reviews by Mozilla.
Sad that it happened, but at least it doesn’t impact the actual uBlock, only the lite version for which I honestly see no purpose in Firefox anyways.
It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong
Good to know! I wasn’t sure if it was automated or not. That’s rough.
Where does it say it was a manual review?
Oh okay, not a good look.
Are you like, those old multi colour swirly rubber balls we used to get out of 20p machines as kids? Those were ill!

I don’t understand what you are telling me
It’s a reference to your username
Ahhh
It’s to circumvent ManifestV3.
Manifest v2 still works on Firefox, so OP was right, it’s useless

Firefox is not eliminating MV2 extensions. You can stick with Firefox.
If we want to do something radically different, there’s always gopher and gemini browsers.
Theoretically, the browser executes the Mv3 blocking rules, so it could be optimized and more efficient than js ever could.
