EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO – you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it’s not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

    I don’t like or use brave for multiple reasons but why is the fact that it’s built on chromium a problem?

      Because every browser is becoming 3 chromes in a trench coat.

      Long term this will be an issue.

      They are doing what Apple has done to browsers on iPhones. It’s all safari all the way down… lol

        Ironically, Apple forcing Safari on iPhones is the single greatest thing standing between Chromium and total market domination.

        Not that it’s a good thing for Apple users, but it’s the one remaining reason not to slap a “Not on Chromium? Don’t bother visiting” sign on every website. Us Firefox users don’t matter, statistically speaking
