google is slowly killing their competition by a thousand cuts.
Of course they will, it's their main selling point.
Guys, just FYI - other adblocks still work. I'm using Ghostery on Vivaldi (Chromium-based) and it works perfectly fine, including blocking ads during YouTube videos.
No idea why uBlock specifically is being blocked, but it's not like you can't have an ad-blocker anymore.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't uBlock the most capable adblock, with others coming close but not reaching it?

It's not ready yet but there's the ladybird project that has a lot of promise. I appreciate FF a lot but their code base is a mess, they need a modern rewrite of their browser engine. That's why we're getting all these chromium based browsers, it's just a better base to build off of.

Welcome, ye hordes!
That's the only reason, I use it. And I knew Firefox would be the only one remaining when I switched to it the very moment, Chromium stopped supporting uBlock Origin.
Vivaldi phases it out? I haven't been off mobile in a while so I didn't know that was planned. Waterfox still does ok.

Unfortunately my work machine has an ARM Snapdragon Elite (it’s way better than it has any business being) and the ARM version of Firefox does not yet seem to play well with Yubikey certificates. I tried every which way of ARM and x86-64 Yubikey certificate drivers but none resolved my issues. I believe FIDO2 works, but some of our applications still require certificate authentication.
