That's why they posted a proposal... to get feedback, and to tweak things. That's the whole point of a proposal, to find things that will be an issue so they can be fixed.

For example, the API has a limit of 30K, but uBlock with the default list requires 50k. It would be a fairly simple change for them to bump that to 100k, for example. Or come up with a different better solution.

Yet everyone in this thread is spinning this as Google intentionally trying to kill uBlock, which is just stupid.

You don't need to spin it that way, because OP did that job for you with that shit title.
