I imagine you didn't take the time to understand Manifest v3 criticism.
Nobody claims they won't work at all, they'll just be crappier than they are now, which boils down to two reasons: Manifest v3 introduces limits to filter list size + pattern matching isn't as flexible.
And Firefox has stated multiple times so far that they're going to keep current content blocking APIs, meaning that once Manifest v3 rolls out, adblockers will work better than they will on Chromium-based browsers.
uBlock Origin already released a v3-compatible add-on and they call it uBlock Origin Lite for a reason: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite...
- RunSet 4y ago"uBlock Origin Lite" is bad branding as there is a convention of using "Lite" to suggest reduced hardware requirements. They should have named it something like "uBlock Origin Tame".

Can you show this objectively through experiments or are you just assuming it won't be as good? > they call it uBlock Origin Lite for a reason Nowhere on that extension does it say it's any worse. It's a work in progress, it makes sense to call it something else. You're reaching and pressing your own assumptions as truths that have no backing.
