Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

I’ve been using Firefox for ages now so I don’t get it : what’s the point of using Chrome or Edge ?

    Solely for when a page only works in Chromium based slop.

    I've never seen that, which freaking websites only works in Chromium?

    I've seen glorious corporate interfaces, only functioning in Microsoft Explorer. But only Chromium?

    Some training content for work (I think it was for an in-browser code security training). And I've run into one or two sites where they required me to try in Chrome for a support issue, just can't remember what it was. And newbs vibe-producing corporate tool proofs of concept as Chrome plugins because it's simpler and doesn't depend on any gatekeepers to deployment. (Fortunately, other gatekeepers still got a chance to say "no" and forced it to become a real web application.)

    JavaScript and rendering performance as well as USB hardware access if you're doing something like playing a browser based emulator. Pretty niche, but it's a usecase that is much more poorly served by Firefox.
