Apart from personal opinions, is there any evidence this is due to Google sabotaging uBlock rather than a legitimate technical concern (V2 vs V3 manifest)?
Could uBlock implement V3 without losing its functionality?

Google is an ads company. uBlock Origin is making them lose money...

No, that's why everyone is angry and a ton of people switching to Firefox, to keep using uBlock Origin as it is, since Firefox still respects the V2.
no. V3 has some limitations on how many urls gets blocked, and has to be submitted ahead of time iirc.
It is high time the tech commmunity strongly encourage their friends and family to switch to firefox enmass.
Yes, with some minor caveats. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/...
And this is part of it. Maybe releasing manifest v4 with prominent forks would lessen this purely marketing move by Google.
