- 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.
Yep company’s not totally trustworthy neither is Google neither is Microsoft. By the way, Firefox still sends all of your websites to Google to get safe traffic prompts.

The link issue you’re speaking of was 4 years ago. The CEO issued a formal apology.
They’re a funded company they are trying to make money to pay the developers to stay solvent.
On the upside they’re using that money to fight Google’s ad blocking and to keep manifest V3 optional.
The way they block the ads happens outside of manifest so even if they take the manifest code they still won’t have ads. Of the chromium ancestry browsers they are the most likely to continue running long-term. They’re also the fastest solution for YouTube blocking when YouTube makes changes.
I main Firefox but still use brave over edge or opera.
Right now, we need all the boats we have. Not everything works in Firefox you need to have a backup,
