uBlock Origin Lite maker ends Firefox store support

[Astatine]

I value my security more than content filtering, uBO Lite is more than enough for me.

Totally agree. I used to dislike uBlock Origin Lite due to its limitations, but after reading this, I made the switch which I had no regrets for.

It’s also worth mentioning that uBO Lite works per-site, so you can have full content filtering capabilities on sites like YouTube and then use the permissionless mode on sensitive sites, so uBO Lite actually makes more sense than regular uBO.

Exactly. I followed PrivacyGuides’ recommendation for using Optimal or Complete mode when Basic mode’s filtering is inadequate.

I use the default lists, and enable what I actually need when visiting websites. (Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, AdGuard URL Tracking Protection, EasyList - Cookie Notices, Overlay Notices, and Other Annoyances.)

On-Topicish

I’ve seemed to notice that the current release of uBlock Origin Lite is unavailable for Firefox. I’m certain I saw it when this version released, I took notice of this issue after encountering the same issue as you.

The most recent of uBlock Origin Lite for Firefox is two releases before the one in the first screenshot, as the previous release is the same version as the one before it. (See second screenshot.)
