My apologies. I overlooked the date.

Are you sure?

'https://github.com/gorhill/ublock' is linked from
'https://ublockorigin.com'.

The uBlock Origin extension I'm currently using in Vivaldi is
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.72.2.

So I guess that means we can only use uBlock Origin Lite in Chrome.

However, as I mentioned before, we can use uBlock Origin in Vivaldi.
In other words, Vivaldi isn't entirely dependent on Chrome.

But, the fact that serious issues are occurring in the parts that do
depend on Chrome is a cause for concern.......

Anyway, I don't know about Brave or Firefox.

Best Regards & Good Night.
