Per Mozilla's blog post about adopting Manifest V3, they are, unlike Chrome, not removing the API that lets uBlock Origin work:

One of the most controversial changes of Chrome’s MV3 approach is the removal of blocking WebRequest, which provides a level of power and flexibility that is critical to enabling advanced privacy and content blocking features. Unfortunately, that power has also been used to harm users in a variety of ways. Chrome’s solution in MV3 was to define a more narrowly scoped API (declarativeNetRequest) as a replacement. However, this will limit the capabilities of certain types of privacy extensions without adequate replacement.

Mozilla will maintain support for blocking WebRequest in MV3. To maximize compatibility with other browsers, we will also ship support for declarativeNetRequest. We will continue to work with content blockers and other key consumers of this API to identify current and future alternatives where appropriate. Content blocking is one of the most important use cases for extensions, and we are committed to ensuring that Firefox users have access to the best privacy tools available.

Let's not spread half truths please.

They aren't killing Mv2 but they implemented there own ad system in Firefox that was silently turned on. That is on top of all the other anti privacy stuff like telemetry, Firefox suggest and Pocket.

They are only good for privacy when compared to Chrome. Compared to Librewolf and similar they are abysmal

Librewolf is firefox, just modified

True but it rips out the junk and applies the hardening from Tor

All that is irrelevant to what I just said, and what you originally said, but for the record, I'm not mad about it. Firefox is implementing ads in a privacy-friendly way and, now that they're basically the only browser engine in the world that isn't Chromium and their Google money is drying up, they're going to have to earn revenue somehow. No way in hell they're going to live off donations, and if they start charging for the browser, their entire userbase -- and with it their ability to influence W3C standards -- will disappear faster than you can blink. If they do that by selling privacy respecting ads, I'm all for it.

The problem is that it is opt out with no warning popup.

So they are implementing Manifest v3 but only the parts worth implementing. Thank you Mozzilla 🙏
