I guess you're a Firefox user now?

Those are examples of Firefox having performance benefits for uBO over other browsers instead of examples of the Chrome version being crippled after the fact, e.g killing of the webRequest API.

Killing the webRequest API (without a real replacement) would absolutely cripple uBO on Chrome. The Firefox version having access to WebAssembly without an extra permission isn't preventing the Chrome version from working.

But your parent link indeed shows that ublock origin on chrome is crippled when compared to firefox, not just performance benefits.

CNAME uncloaking is crippled on chrome. The only chromium based browser with cname uncloaking is brave.
