Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads - eviltoast
Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
  • Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

    On the other hand, Google fucking SUCKS and I expect Apple to be doing way less questionable-to-evil stuff with my data.
