Sounds like it's an extension API thing, where addons on Manifest V2 won't be supported for much longer. So this is less of a case of targeting uBlock so much as the usual run of older addon-death.
Not that I'm a fan of that shit at all due to the sheer inconvenience, but it's more of a technical and backwards compatibility problem than a Google-agenda kind of problem.
Granted, it's possible Google could make it less of a hassle with regards to the backwards compatibility and/or make it easier for addon developers to convert over to the newer API, but I'm not familiar enough with the specifics to be sure.
Mv3 removes the ability to filter network requests. It disables as blockers.
Thanks for the clarification. I only did a cursory glance into it, been juggling a few things today on only 3 hours of sleep.
