I think uBO Lite works just fine for 99% of users.

It’s the principle. When they’ve shown they’ll jank one extension because it doesn’t align with their business model, they’ve shown they’ll jank any extension in the future as they see fit. I’m voting with my feet.

They didn't yank an extension.

Librewolf works fine for me. Comes with uBlock Origin installed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apparently no one remembers when Firefox changed their terms of service literally this year to become adversarial toward their own users. Librewolf is the way to go now.

No thanks. Their own devs have gladly called the project "very woke", and a "certainly quite political project".

These days the term "woke" has lost almost all meaning. It used to mean being "awake" i.e. aware of socio-economic factors in society. Today, as far as I can tell, it simply refers to whatever the big corporations/alt-right doesn't like. Just like how they refer to anything left of oligarchy as "communism". To me them calling themselves "very woke" reads as "we are against anti-human behavior", which is a good thing.
