With this attitude you can expect uBlock Ultra-Lite and then uBlock Nothing in future. Mozilla is the only remaining obstacle to stop big tech from deciding everything about how the web is rendered. If we don't support Firefox we will get what we deserve.

Might be, but I can't take on every battle. I switched from chrome to vivaldi in the hopes of they would keep the v2 api alive. They could not. Currently I can't be asked to switch browser again. Maybe at some point.

But OP asked if "is this not enough of a selling point" and I wanted to answer that honestly.

I was going to say the same - I haven't noticed any deterioration switching to lite.

The user interface is a bit different which took getting used to but I think I now prefer the one in lite.

If that's enough for you, then by all means use Chrome.

Yeah, it's what I do. I use Vivaldi.

the difference is you are being tracked but not seeing the ads. that’s what you lost when they sunset mv2 for mv3.

Just wait until Manifest V4 then Manifest V5.
