for anyone wondering, there's already a manifest v3 version of ublock origin available from the same developer.

Yes but ubol (ublock origin lite) , is limited in what it can block. It may or may not affect users, depending on how they had ubo configured.

See the author's FAQ:

as long as you set it to 'Optimal' or 'Complete' it's going to be able to block YouTube ads for example. that's the main thing I missed while trying out dns adblockers and as such it's definitely not too limited for me

I only install UBO and never configure it, so perhaps UBOL will be fine

I wonder how handicapped it is
