uBlock Origin Faces Manifest V3 Deprecation in Chrome
2025-03-03
Starting with Chrome 127, users of uBlock Origin (uBO) will see warnings due to the deprecation of Manifest V2 extensions. uBO, a Manifest V2 extension, lacks a Manifest V3 equivalent. A lightweight alternative, uBO Lite (uBOL), has been released, but with feature sacrifices for Manifest V3 compatibility. Users must decide whether to switch to uBOL or continue using uBO on browsers like Firefox. Discussions regarding extending Manifest V2 support in Chrome until June 2025 are ongoing.
