What I want to know is whether I will be able to run Ublock Origin on it after Ublock Origin stops working on Google Chrome.

Backporting is not the problem, whether Raymond Hill continue working on uBlock Origin after >90% market share vanishes overnight is.

Presumably when Chromium adds the change that destroys UBlock Origin, it will be broken on all Chromium forks.

I don't see how it wouldn't, unless they added code back in on top of Chromium to support the API they're removing.

That's what other forks have committed to doing already (and have done with API changes in the past) so I don't see why you are skeptical Microsoft would be able to.

Indeed, of all the forks they're the most likely to have the resources to maintain a fork which diverges that much.
