Google Is Trying to Bury YouBlock Origin in Chrome
Google is sneakily trying to get users to remove uBlock Origin, but there's a simple workaround you can use to sidestep it. Despite warnings, users of the popular adblocker can continue using it by reactivating it via the Chrome extensions settings. However, this solution may not be available forever as Google aims to discontinue support for legacy Manifest V2-based extensions in the long term.
- This workaround highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between ad blockers and browser vendors, where users are forced to navigate complex rules and restrictions to maintain their online privacy and security.
- What happens when the next generation of Chrome users is born with a built-in ad blocker that's even more invasive than uBlock Origin?
