I think there's uBlock Origin for Firefox?

I was referring to Manifest v3, not uBlock Origin.

Mozilla announced that they are also adopting Manifest v3, but not sure if they are going to disable v2, or whether they would continue to provide extra APIs that would allow for continued operation of tools like uBO

It's basically Parkinson's law. If someone is given NASA's resources to move a piece of paper across the room, they will find a way to use a space shuttle to do it and call you oldfashioned for doing it by hand.

Yup. This is also happening in gaming, where 2D pixel art platformers are now above 1GB in size https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/castlevania-grimoire-of-souls/... When the hardware was restricted, such games used to be squeezed onto a 48MB SNES cartridge

That's actually 48Megabits, not Megabytes, so it's 1/8th, so only 6MB.
