I honestly see no purpose in

It's to circumvent ManifestV3.

Manifest v2 still works on Firefox, so OP was right, it's useless

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

I thought that was the shit Chrome was doing to block adblockers and antimalware plugins, if Firefox is doing the same thing what browser do we use now? :-(

I don't care about all the browser wars stuff, I lost interest when it was Netscape Vs IE, I just want a browser that I can configure fully myself and have it be as safe and secure as one can make it, within reason.

Firefox is not eliminating MV2 extensions. You can stick with Firefox.

If we want to do something radically different, there's always gopher and gemini browsers.

They're doing a modified version of V3 that they changed to restore ad-blocking functionality.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
