Not really. There's still stuff it can't do. Apparently YouTube ads are harder to block in chrome now. And really everything a MV3 blocker can do a MV2 can too. Additionally, someone can make a MV3 and reinstate the API that Google dropped from it.

Besides, I use ublock origin also for my own personal block list. I don't just block ads but also the sites' own big image highlight blocks, videos and other crap. So the sites I visit all pretty much look like the hacker news front page, just text and none of the marketing crap.

I don't think this can be done in MV3 blockers because they include the lists.
