Hello,
from what I understand, the point is not if a web browser implements
Manifest V3, but how it does so.
Chrome disables certain features (blocking WebRequest) used by adblockers.
Chromium still allows to install Ublock Origin (normal version, not Lite
version) but warns that perhaps in

I don't understand. Why don't you install uBlock Origin on your phone?
Stefan "using uMatrix on his phone"
My answer is to block as much as possible at my router. As I run
OpenWrt for my router, I have the Adblock package installed and running.
This way I get blocking applied for other devices such as our phones and
Chromium when it disables uBlock origin.
There are other options I'm aware of but have
