Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Out of curiosity, why do you use Ghostery rather than uBlock Origin? It was quite controversial back in the day, but seems to be open source and stuff now. I still don't see any advantage over uBO, though, so I wonder what would move you to use it instead.

    I started using Ghostery because it had a cookies auto-reject mechanism. The ad-blocking stuff came in later, which I didn't even realise, but I installed it first on a new device, did some browsing, noticed there's no ads, and thought "well, good enough".

    I do miss the custom HTML-element cutting, though.
