    This article is really wrong, wow. There is already a Manifest V3-compliant version of uBlock Origin, it’s discussed in this thread: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338

    I don’t know if it’s stated definitively anywhere, but I’m pretty sure the plan is to roll out that different version to Chrome users as an update to the existing extension. It’s going to be slightly worse because MV3 is still missing some API features.

      that version works but it’s always been a lite version compared to the standard ublock origin with far less capabilities and features.

    That, my friends, is why we kept fighting for firefox. It doesn’t matter if you like or dislike Mozilla foundation, they have to exist because of shit like this

      People don’t even know about manifest v3 let alone switching to Firefox. They will just use whatever google throws at them.

    Not sponsored, I just genuinely like the product. Adguard doesn’t require manifests because it works outside the browser.

    On the other news I hope this bullshit is finally the straw that kills chrome.

      Ublock origin is far way more advanced and complete than adguard, though. Cosmetic filtering, for example

        Adguard does have cosmetic filtering thou. I’m talking about their paid app not dns servers.
