Google's recent updates to Chrome's extensions platform have led to the phasing out of uBlock Origin, a well-known ad-blocking extension. With this move, Google aims to enhance security and privacy through the Manifest V3 specifications. Users have reported that uBlock Origin has been automatically disabled in some instances, along with a notification prompting users to remove unsupported extensions. Meanwhile, uBlock Origin will still remain available on other browsers. Developers are now expected to align their extensions with the new guidelines or face removal from the Chrome Web Store.
uBlock Origin has been one of the most popular Chrome extensions for privacy and security because it does a fantastic job of blocking ads, cookies, warnings, and overlays.
Google plans to disable all Manifest V2 extensions. The Manifest V3 framework will still allow developers to create ad blockers for Chrome but they must follow the Manifest V3 guidelines.
