Why would anyone even want to use uBlock Origin Lite on Firefox? It's a stripped down version designed to work with the limitations of manifest V3 in chrome.
My guess is that it's used predominantly by people who own budget smart phones. Having lite versions of apps be available to people who don't use thousand dollar flagships I think is kind of important. However, I intended the post to be informational.
Is the lite version more performant?
On lower end smart phones? It probably just slows the phone down less specifically because of how few processes it uses in the background. But I don't know. I'm not a lite UBO user. It definitely doesn't have the same number of features as the regular variant of UBO though.
