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

ublock has a lite version on chrome browsers that still works. but normal ublock is much better. ubo lite and other blockers are hiding the ads, but their lists can’t be updated so quickly.
but also, ublock origin is not just an ad blocker. it is a wide range content blocker, also efficient at blocking trackers and limiting fingerprinting. the browser API limitations that make it not work on chrome also means that it can’t do all that anymore, and it is really just a cosmetic ad blocker
Ghostery does the same stuff. Granted, it can’t cut out HTML elements as you see fit, but that’s a feature I haven’t needed in over a decade.
it cannot do all the same if google stripped out the required browser APIs
What capabilities did it lose? Like: what user-facing consequences are there of that lack of functionality?
Again: I haven’t been using uBlock for a while now, I don’t see any ads on any websites, including those within YouTube videos. So - what am I missing for not using uBO?
