So your argument is that if an extension could block even a single ad with MV3, it means that ad blockers function properly in MV3? Do you not agree that "properly" means "having all the functionality they had with MV2"?

Of course it doesn't, if MV2 provided a bunch of edge case stuff that doesn't matter for normal adblocking.

That's a silly thing to say. No, it's that if it's blocking 99.9+% of ads it should definitely be considered to be functioning properly. Which uBOL definitely is.
Quibbling over whether it blocks 99.999% or 99.99999% is not relevant to whether it functions "properly". It clearly does.
You're making up numbers as bad as the person's you're responding to. My made up numbers are more like 98% for uBlock Origin and 95% for Lite, and Origin is maintaining that number while Lite is losing about a point ever couple of months. My expectation is that in a few years, Lite will be not only deficient, but entirely failing to meet expectations of the full version users. For me, it's already getting close.
> Whether or not ublock lite is missing functionalities because of MV3 is irrelevant to the original statement that adblockers need webRequestBlocking.
It can be relevant depending of how you define properly. If it depends on any of those functionalities that are missing, then it’s relevant.
This is demonstrably false, ublock lite proves that adblockers can work without it.
Whether or not ublock lite is missing functionalities because of MV3 is irrelevant to the original statement that adblockers need webRequestBlocking.
