Firefox has officially committed to continuing support for uBlock Origin, becoming the last major browser to do so as Microsoft Edge transitions to Manifest V3, which restricts ad-blocking capabilities. Neither Safari nor DuckDuckGo support uBlock Origin, leaving Firefox users as the only ones without compromises for full ad-blocking functionality.
Background
Google initiated the Chrome/Chromium migration from Manifest V2 to V3 in 2022, fundamentally changing how extensions can intercept and modify network requests, severely limiting ad-blocking effectiveness.
