There currently is no public date for the deprecation of Manifest v2 extensions, so I think you'll be fine with uBlock Origin for a while to come.

  Has there been any progression on manifest v3 support for uBO? Has the original maintainer shown interest in adding support, or any other forks? I'm curious to see what the performance/feature set looks likes. From my understanding, they upped the number of filters to 300K, which is 3x what most people use.

    Nope, no progression. The uBlock Origin maintainer has explicitly stated that in current form it will kill the extension. The Chrome team closed the issue with no response to his concerns, if you're wondering where their intentions are (obviously they intend to kill ad-blocking).

      It's expected to be trivial to block ads in Manifest v3. The API is a more powerful version of Safari's API which also allows adblocking. uBlock Origin may not be willing to change, but other adblockers will fill that niche.

        Basically it still does all capabilities needed by the extentions.

        No, that's a lie. Manifest v3 is carefully designed to allow spying, but prevent blocking.

          Can you substantiate that claim? What can't be effectively blocked, and how was it "carefully designed" to allow spying?

              I've seen this issue report before. It doesn't substantiate the earlier claims made though. Particularly as these comments predate the improvements made to declarativeNetRequest since this issue was posted.
