This comment encouraging me to try out NoScript Security Suite (Firefox) changed my life. googletagmanager is used everywhere!

    uBlock Origin still functions the same. I doubt it’ll die in the foreseeable future because there’s interest in it, and moreso than in NoScript (my assumption anyway).

    The uBlock Origin introduced https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home to cover the manifest v3. It’s a separate software. The original uBlock Origin remains functional like before.

    Regarding the earlier point, this lite FAQ entry sounds to me like the main author is more committed to origin than lite.

      I mean, if you’re still using Chrome, you likely don’t know about Manifest v3. Those who do have been on FF for quite some time.
