uBlock Origin Lite maker ends Firefox support due to “hostile” dispute with Mozilla

@Pathduck, yeah, Game of Thrones

Mozilla addons team revised manually. ROFL
I fear these dumb dudes used AI for a answer instead of analysing code.I thinks Mozilla tech team does not want any addon which could disturbe their own ad injections sneaking into Mozillas browser.

Sooo much internetz drama
There is no drama at all or false drama.
Those users of Vivaldi or other Chromium browsers that have already migrated or will migrate to Firefox in June 2025, intend to use uBO.
For Gorhill it takes a load off their shoulders. He should only support uBO for Firefox and uBOL for Chromium browsers. Deep down he must be happy.

@Catweazle Why is uBlock Origin Lite even required on Firefox? They're not deprecating Mv2.

Because users use this extension.

@DoctorG I had the impression uBO Lite was crafted specifically to be Mv3 compatible. What other advantages does it have over uBO on Firefox other than this? That's what puzzles me.

None.
uBO can also be used in a basic way, for those who do not want the advanced functions.
Therefore uBOL is redundant in Firefox. -
It's so sad to see what Mozilla has become.

@mathieulefrancois That is worse with large US foundations like Mozilla they have the power to restrict freedom of development and they give not much on some developers.

@mathieulefrancois, agree, Mozilla isn't what it once was. The mistake they made was signing a contract with Google as a sponsor and recently they also signed a contract with another advertising company for their income. This, in turn, has caused them to now have to bow to the conditions of these investors, losing their independence.
Google has made Mozilla its mascot, there now are even Google Devs working on Firefox.
