Google Chrome is phasing out older extensions to adopt a new browser add-on standard, affecting popular ad-blockers like uBlock Origin. Users will have to 'remove or replace' many extensions soon, indicating a shift towards a more modern extension platform.
Manifest V3 saga reflects Google's plan to eliminate support for outdated browser extensions, requiring developers to embrace a new standard. Some alternative browsers like Firefox will continue to support older extensions, offering users alternatives.
The extensions Chrome is warning about are deemed 'outdated,' mainly due to not being updated for Google's modern extension platform. Many disabled extensions are neglected by developers who have abandoned updating them for years.
