That's really going to be the only game in town if you want ad/privacy 
blockers like uBlock Origins (I do).

The entire reason google killed Manifest V2 and refused the uBlock 
developers attempts to find a middle-ground to allow google, et. al. to 
shove more ads in your face, period.

Mozilla has committed to maintaining Manifest V2 compatibility (at least 
as of now).

Given the cesspool the tech companies and miscreants have turned the 
internet into, every bit of convenient protection you can use helps.

There are workarounds, none that convenient to simply allows the browser 
to work as it should and Manifest 2 extensions to simply update as they 
should.
