Totally 100% wholeheartedly Agree.
I can't stand the web and websites without ublock origin. it would be a wild jungle full of annoying, malicious ads, miners and so on.
If Microsoft Edge cause conflicts for ublock origin due to some manifest BS, I will switch to Brave browser or Firefox.
Btw ublock origin has a companion extension, ublock extra, it's useful when some dirty sites use these tricks to confuse adblockers and still show their ads, it prevents them by creating a defensive layer for ublock origin to work correctly

the ublock origin extra addon has been removed from the Google Chrome web store as of October 20, 2020 and noted by it's creator on https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra.
"Important: As of October 20, 2020, uBO-Extra is discontinued and is no longer present in the Chrome Web store. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instart_Logic's anti-user agent technology appears to have gone away and consequently the extension has become useless, as its main purpose was to foil Instart Logic's 3rd parties obfuscation technology."
but the original uBlock origin addon will continue to be developed for Chromium based browsers like MS Edge
