I saw there is a manifest v3 ublock lite.

I don't understand why and how it would be less capable, and so far I have not read the details of how/why.

So far, it's just rumors to me.

I will keep using firefox anyway, but honestly I am still waiting for a clearer explanation.

With manifest v2, the extension could dynamically intercept requests and block them based on a custom rule.

With v3, extensions have to predefine the rules for blocking. Which is the limiting factor

So because you don't understand it, its rumors? A Simple google search would answer all of your questions in a literal sentence. It removes APIs used by ad blockers.
