Starting with the next major release, Chromium will stop supporting Manifest V2 extensions. The change will affect users who have clung to uBlock Origin in Chrome, Edge,...
Misleading headline, as UBlock Origin Lite will work.
….Which is what the vast majority of Chrome users would be using now anyway. Using full Ublock requires a ton of manual hoops (or a Chromium fork) already, and basically no one using plain Chrome at this point is gonna do that.
Not that this is okay.
I’m just saying it’s misleading. Full Ublock has already been evicted from Chrome for like 99.99% of its users, and sadly, they didn’t seem to care.
The Lite version works fine for me. Would I prefer the full version? Sure. But migrating to a different browser is not that high on the list of things I have energy for.
You can export your contacts and settings and import them in another browser with a few clicks. I am not sure what energy is needed for that but use whatever you prefer.
I mean, if you are using plain Chrome, you can kiss any semblance of tracking protection goodbye. And it is going to get more anti features in the future.
Believe me, I understand not having the energy to address a pile of tech issues; I have them too. But it’s not too bad if you decide to switch, either, as all browsers can import settings from each other.

Mental energy to overcome Stockholm syndrome.
