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

      It does but really doesn’t need it since it has very good ad blocking built into it. Also, Brave isn’t considered a major browser AFAIK

        If it doesn’t support a feature equivalent to uBlock Origin, I can’t consider it to be a major browser. As someone pointed out, the reality is that the interweb becomes practically unusable without it. I dumped Firefox years ago for Brave and it was such a major improvement.
