Will Opera be nixing certain adblockers like Google Chrome will be doing?

Well... ubo is malfunctioning on my firefox for several days each month, allowing may ads to pass through. But it never had an issue on my chromium and opera.
If the manifest v3 change will force me to change to a different browser, that will be firefox... or use dns blocking.
But I do not want to. So, that post from google gives me some hope, which may be false hope, but it is still some hope. -

I've never had any issues with uBO and Firefox. I don't have many extensions on Firefox. Maybe you are having some conflict with another extension? -

I do not have many extensions either, just ubo and downloadhelper.
What is your OS?

Debian testing x64... for the last 11.5 years.
The issue on firefox's ublock just comes and goes. It has been there before ff quantum, before ff adopted multi process and so on. -

I'm not having any issues on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. There again, it is pretty stable.

blackbird71 last edited byThe "moment of truth" will probably start to appear in 2020 as manifest V3 goes "live" in Chrome generic distribution. Then we'll start to see whether/if the ripples spread into non-Chrome chromium (and thereafter potentially impact other chromium-based browsers).
Per https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/google-begins-testing-extension-manifest-v3-in-chrome-canary/ , 1 November 2019: "While they are now in preview, Google expects the manifest v3 to go live in 2020 with the v2 end of life to be determined in the future."
