I'm sure it is completely coincidental that ublock is about to die as well.

wtf are you talking about?

Not in Firefox specifically, but many chromium based browsers are about to lose access to the original ublock. I've been planning on switching to Firefox when this goes through for a while now.

I thought they have lost that a few months ago. Firefox though claimed that

  • they will keep Mv2 support for some time
  • their version of Mv3 will keep the superior network filtering API

I'm using Vivaldi, it is supporting v2 until next June or something I believe

the original ublock.

You mean the original uBlock Origin. The original uBlock has been gone for a long time.
