      No. They didn’t.

      It’s even a “Recommended by Mozilla” extension.

      I read that they temporarily (and apparently accidentally) removed the uBlock Origin Lite extension but they’re not getting rid of Manifest v2 that allows normal uBlock Origin to work.

      The developer released the lite version on Firefox because it might be better for Android Firefox users. I guess there was some confusion.

          They said they have no plans to deprecate v2 and if they ever do, will provide 12 months notice before doing so. So, I think there will be time to prepare for that switch.
