This. Google is pushing MV3 to single out and neuter the more robust and customizable ad blockers, like uBO. They're trying to appease their advertising investors by force feeding ads to you and they're plugging the leaks/workarounds savvy developers have created to block them.

If Firefox ever gets popular enough, what do you wanna bet money bags Google, their primary monetary contributor, will put a condition on the next round of funding that they stop support for MV2?

Stay small and crazy customizable Firefox.
