EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO -- you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

They should recommend switching to Firefox instead. It's clear that Google cannot be allowed to have a monopoly on browsers.

Even better is FF mobile (on Android) supports full list of addons, including uBlock Origin.

The using the web without uBlock Origin is cancer.

Though not container tabs (yet)?
