Sure. But why make this a New Year's Resolution instead of a more open ended resolution? Also what make you think Mozilla would tamper with ublock origin?
To all the people who seem to be invested in the actions of Mozilla: you should invest in an organizational structure that actually gives you a say in the company's actions: a consumer cooperative.
The Adguard extension on Edge works really well. It replaced UBlock Origin for me. They actually try to push the limits of mv3 with workarounds. Which uBO refuses to do out of some sort of principle, hence the lite version. I do still use uBO Lite in iOS though. I don’t care about the lack of options and customization on that platform.
I gave it up a year ago at least when they changed their terms of service to start selling your data to advertisers. They haven't been a privacy-focused company for at least that long now. They are lying to you.
They're not just lying, they're killing the hopes of other independent browsers to take the reigns and the attention of the FOSS community. Mozilla is incredibly cancerous from this perspective: it's Google-backed controlled opposition.

Haven't you heard about the millions of dollars trying to 'convince' the CEO of doing so?
Yes, we heard the CEO saying that Mozilla is not going to take the millions of dollars for doing so.
There are some things to be angry at Mozilla, but I'm not sure how you can read the exact opposite of what was being said in this particular case.

You might want to check his political views first… they might not align with yours…
Or don't, it's a browser, not a political party

Great idea! Then you can move to a Chromium-based browser which has (checks notes) uBlock Origin Lite.
Oh.
I have no need for a PiHole currently, but I will likely set one up if that happens.
PiHole is nearly useless these days. It doesn’t block the majority of the ads and DNS blacklisting on its own breaks websites.
The only way to do ad-blocking these days is with DOM manipulation.
This is not my experience at all. pihole blocks a massive amount of ads in my home. It is extremely rare that any website ever breaks.
DNS blocking is entirely insufficient compared to DOM interception and filtering, especially with domain fronting.
giving up Mozilla, or uBlock Origin? the title seems ambiguous for me
Just to be accurate then: "it" refers to Mozilla (all and any products).
It'll be the last straw for me.
