In Part Due To The Demise Of Manifest V2
If you are a fan of using uBlock Origin or uBlock Origin Lite, on sites other than this one, you have to make some choices. Until now both extensions were available for Chromium based browsers and Firefox, but that is no longer the case. A recent code review by Mozilla flagged uBlock Origin Lite and resulted in it being pulled from their extensions. Unfortunately as it was an automated process it is not yet clear why the code was flagged, but for now you can only get it from GitHub. Conversely, the move to Manifest v3 means that uBlock Origin will soon no longer be usable on Chromium based browsers as it depends on Manifest v2. It is there for now, but without a major update it will be going soon
Long story short, you will not be able to use the same adblocking extension on both browsers, a minor inconvenience but worth knowing why they have disappeared. While you can’t donate directly to the developer of uBlock Origin to fund an upgrade, you can help those that maintain the lists of ad servers to block. The Register offers a bit more detail in their post.
