That eventually resulted in ublock "origin" to differentiate it from the other ublock. https://www.reddit.com/r/ublock/comments/32mos6/ublock_vs_ub... This one is called lite because it is not as good as the old version, entirely thanks to Google removing support for manifest v2 extensions. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/a559f5f2715c58fea4d...

While we're here, does anyone know what Firefox is planning to do about this? Are they going to cripple their extensions by using v3 too?

They stated [1] that they are going support MV3 but keep maintaining the blocking WebRequest API.
