So banning ublock origin lite from the addon store was malice, after all?
That means they will drop MV2 as soon as Chrome ends the business/legacy support, since they were the alternative.

I think the ublock origin lite thing was a legitimate mistake, though I understand Mozilla's depleting benefit of the doubt.

THe developer also don't want to develop uBLock Origin Lite. Mozilla is sucking all energy out of people.

of course they don’t want, it’s such an inferior addon that it’s almost useless for privacy. it’s little besides just visually hiding ads

uh.. no... The add-on was also developed for Firefox, which still have Manifest V2. Because of the headache of Mozilla, Hill decided to stop development for Mozilla and only release the latest (signed) add-on via github, without further updates. The developer just makes a statement that it's getting so worse to develop for Firefox that he just doesn't do it anymore.

yes, it was made for Firefox too. did I say it wasn’t? but I think there was no real reason for anyone to use it on Firefox.
