I hope Firefox never drops MV2. I have a lot of other extensions that use it other than uBlock. Can't believe Google really went through with it. We are truly in the end times of "personal" computing, very sad to see :/
MV3 itself isn't what breaks uBlock Origin, it is the bundled removal of capabilities that Chrome decided to do. Firefox MV3 supports full WebRequest "scopes" while Chrome only supports declarativeNetRequest.
I know Chrome has some additional limitations, and in a vacuum MV3 doesn't break UBO as hard - but is blocking of the "Element picker" part of that or inherent to MV3? I rely on that a lot.
