AdGuard publishes the first ad blocker built on Manifest V3
To those familiar with the HTML DOM I recommend uMatrix from the same author as uBlock origin. It makes a good companion to uBlock Origin and provides much finer control.

Ublock Origin becomes #1 Firefox addon, beating Adblock Plus

Test your Ad Blocking
Is it a good idea to be using uMatrix? I was under the impression that development on the project ended back in 2020, the code is archived and no longer actively maintained.

No, uMatrix is not completely dead, and gosh no, uBlock does not replace it and NoScript whatsoever
uMatrix gives you control over the requests that websites make to other websites. Many websites integrate features which let other websites track you, such as Facebook Like Buttons or Google Analytics. uMatrix allows 1st party scripts in its default configuration. If you want the default functionality of NoScript consider blocking 1st party scripts everywhere by default. This addon has been discontinued.
