Except in the article it's made clear that uBlock origin is ignored and therefore will run on quarantined domains.

- mcpackieh 3y ago> uBlock origin is ignored That's just configuration, easy to change. And if they change that configuration in response to a lawsuit, Mozilla can play the victim and say their hand was forced. If they had to ban uBlock Origin outright that would probably kill Firefox's (already abysmal) install base. Neither Mozilla nor Google wants that; they want Firefox to remain as an obscure but technically viable competitor. What they're doing now is laying the groundwork for banning uBlock Origin on only some websites while allowing it to continue working on most. This let's Google have their cake and eat it too; Firefox surviving as nominal competition to Chrome but no longer blocking ads on Youtube.
