It means it will work in Edge out of the box as well?

There has been a uBlock version for Edge for quite a while now; or am I missing something?

Yeah but it's a fork to work with Edge. But AFAIK Edge can work with all webextensions because it is using exactly the same APIs as Firefox.

Ah, interesting, I hadn't heard about that. Seems like it should work in Edge then, at least with minimal changes:
WebExtensions APIs are inspired by the existing Google Chrome extension APIs, and are supported by Opera, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. [1]
On the other hand the Edge version seems to no longer be very actively maintained, but the original repository[2] still links to the Edge repository[3] for installation.
