    How could they even allow this? Isn’t ublock an independent plugin?

    Also, how about other chromium browsers?

    EDIT: click bait headline, chrome is just deprecating a dependency it uses and ublock isn’t using the new version yet.

    Edit 2: I didn’t realize v3 was nurfed intentionally,

    Fuck google

      This was all about the news probably 2 years ago. Chrome uses a new api manifest that does not allow for changes in websites like blocking specific type of content. Once manifest v3 is fully implemented and enforced there will be no way for ublock origin to work correctly anymore.

      The word “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your edit. The replacement for that dependency doesn’t allow an extension to work as an ad blocker as effectively as the thing they are deprecating. This is deliberate.
