Firefox will also disable V2 sooner or later. BUT. Chrome then will still have uBlock Origin lite. Firefox won't, because mozilla banned that extension from store.

It's unbanned; the author chose to not put it back. https://www.ghacks.net/2024/10/01/mozillas-massive-lapse-in-...

		Yeah, pissing off the ecosystem is a great way to drive users to your competitors. Requiring users to manually install and update a popular extension is a subpar experience. It seems they spent so much of their budget on the CEO's salary that they couldn't afford an extension review team. Quoting open-paren comment (2024): > As far as I can tell, there are maybe two reviewers that are based in Europe (Romania?). The turn around time is long when I am in the US, and it has been rife with this same kind of "simple mistake" that takes 2 weeks to resolve. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41710183

There is currently no plan to deprecate V2 manifest in Firefox.

And Firefox version of V3 supports browser.webRequest blocking (the part that adblockers need to work properly)

Got a source for that, or is that just unfounded speculation?

		Well given a long enough timeline, everything will be disabled at some point.

Why wouldn't someone anyone cobble together a v3 version between the uncertain future date in which v2 was deprecated and when it became unavailable. There appears to be no possible future in which google has better adblocking.
