The new warning that uBlock Origin "doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions" reflects Google's push towards Manifest V3, which limits the capabilities of popular extensions.
While most commercial ad blockers have adapted to Manifest V3, uBlock Origin's solo developer has chosen to keep the original unaltered to protest these restrictive changes.
A representative from Google stated that over 93% of maintained extensions now support Manifest V3, indicating a shift towards uniform compliance among developers.
The developers of Ghostery also criticize Manifest V3, arguing that it undermines user privacy and security by restricting the network layer essential for effective ad blocking.
