Just curious,
I have seen Adguard MV3 Beta allowing custom filters but why does UBlock Origin Lite does not?

Any chance of custom filters becoming a reality in UBlock Origin Lite?

Note: I do not have any technical knowledge regarding the full concept of both MV2 and MV3.

You can read here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)#is-ubo-lite-a-bad-faith-attempt-at-converting-ubo-to-mv3

My goal with uBO Lite is a reliable and efficient MV3-compliant content blocker, leveraging the filter lists used by uBO. I am satisfied that I fulfilled that goal by ensuring uBO Lite was entirely declarative -- though at the cost of limitations beyond those intrinsic to MV3.

Reliability: Being entirely declarative, uBO Lite's service worker is not required to initiate DNR-, cosmetic-, or scriptlet-based filtering in a timely manner.

As a result, uBO Lite reliably filters at browser launch, or when navigating to new webpages while its service worker is suspended. This can't be achieved without uBO Lite's declarative approach.

The choice of being entirely declarative for the sake of reliability and efficiency meant sacrificing being able to create custom filters, hence the "Lite" in uBO Lite: it's not meant as an MV3-compliant version of uBO, it's meant as a reliable Lite version of uBO, suitable for those who used uBO in an install-and-forget manner.

Thanks to your reply. Helped me a lot and decided to migrate from UBlock Origin (MV2) to UBlock Origin Lite. You proved that UBlock Origin Lite is still usable without custom filters.
