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

Ghostery blocks trackers then sells data about your tracking blocking habits. It was the first tracker blocker I heard of but Privacy Badger is the better one nowadays.

Not true since 2017 (and even before that it was kinda' disputed). The adblock part of the business went to Cliqz, a German privacy-focused browser, backed by Mozilla.

I have downvoted your comment because it's repeating a popular myth, nothing against you personally.
