If this (quite limited) declarativeNetRequest API ends up being the only way content blockers can accomplish their duty, this essentially means that two content blockers I have maintained for years, uBlock Origin ("uBO") and uMatrix, can no longer exist.

sounds like they are making safari style content blockers the only way to block content (as opposed to various JavaScript fuckery they can do now)
