For people that have somehow missed the story, manifest v3 removed support for certain powerful network apis, severly limiting ad-blockers capabilities. uBlock Origin will not work anymore without manifest v2 (there's a v3 compatible lite version of uBlock Origin).

I saw there is a manifest v3 ublock lite.

I don't understand why and how it would be less capable, and so far I have not read the details of how/why.

So far, it's just rumors to me.

I will keep using firefox anyway, but honestly I am still waiting for a clearer explanation.

So because you don't understand it, its rumors? A Simple google search would answer all of your questions in a literal sentence. It removes APIs used by ad blockers.
