time to treat that firefox allergy of yall if ya want to keep adblocking.

I use Firefox as my daily browser, but I tried the manifest v3 based uBlock experiment in Chrome and honestly I couldn't tell the difference between it and the regular uBlock.

I welcome people switching over, but I don't think this is anywhere near the killing blow to adblocking people think it is.

it is. it wont be updated as often, and ads will slip in between them. it also won't be able to block as many trackers because the api is more limited.
