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

Librewolf would probably still support it

librewolf does not have much developer capacity to maintain such heavy patches. you may remember some chromium forks telling they will maintain a patch when google completely removes this API from chromium, but it seems none of them will follow through. I can't really fault them because it is likely a gargantuan task. but I'll fault them for claiming something they (should) have known they can't deliver. but my point is if vivaldi and others can't keep it, how could librewolf?
