I'm hanging on to 1password 6 for as long as I can. I can't use the browser plugin on firefox anymore, so I have to copy&paste my passwords in, but at least I have my vault stored locally. I also paid something like $70 and had the rug pulled from under me when they wanted to start charging monthly on top of that.

It's not that I expect support forever for software I paid once for, but I think that the monthly, no local vault is worse than what they offered in 1password 6. I am OK with having to manually copy in passwords.

I am using 6, and the classic extension still works for me on Firefox. It was only when they discontinued (and refused to port) the Safari classic extension that I couldn't use Safari anymore.

Works for me on Chrome too, but not Brave (my browser of choice).

Are there any security concerns holding on to 1p 6.0 ? I notice the mobile app still sees updates, but could there be in theory an unpatched security hold in the desktop app ?

That's part of the reason I am OK with just copying and pasting in firefox. It keeps the desktop app isolated from the browser.

Yeah but the chrome plugin still works at full functionality.

Yes but I don't want to use chrome, especially after they break ad blocking.

To answer your question about the security: I don't know. I don't audit it, and copying and pasting lets me not really have to worry about the security of the browser extension.

Ublock Origin still works for me, what are you referencing ?
