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

That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox.

A lot of websites that really should be testing for this don't work on Firefox.

Absolute worst case Firefox can focus on feature parity(as it already has a lot of), and lie on the UserAgent

Kids today don't know that's how life started for Firefox. Except the browser it had to copy was closed source.
