I have years using it and I have never been crypto scammed for it, about the V3 I truly don't know apparently you will still be able to turn some V2 extensions like ublock origin but I didn't see the point of it if the browser include a good adblocker anyway.

Same. The adblocker in Brave is great, its been ages since I ditched uBo and I've still to see a single ad. Built-in adblockers are good, because Google has no power there. Firefox, instead, its still a thing exclusively because of uBO i.e., the work KF an external, unpaid developer. The say uBO disappears, is the day FF dies. Mozilla is so busy wasting time and money on unrelated stuff and huge CEO paychechs that they have had nkr the time to add and inbuilt advlocker to FF, which instead has useless crap such as Pockets and an opt-out ad-measurement tool which nobody asked for.
