- 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.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

I always wondered about this and how all the ad blocking apps have complete access to every webpage you visit.
Also to add to this, its made a little weirder considering ad blocking makes you more susceptible to fingerprinting.
