Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow (www.neowin.net)

For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

For a lot of people, it's an easy transition.

DDG, Vivaldi, etc. harder transitions.

Firefox for my parents would result in calls every 3 days for sites that aren't working right.

I'm just saying perfect is the enemy of good.

Sorry, what? If they are so tech-illiterate that they have to call you and ask why the website is not working, then what kind of web sites are they visiting?

Been using FF since 2022 and the only sites that wont work are the ones that utilizes HID. Are your parents trying to flash custom firmware for their phones though browser every third day?

Good for you. I've been in tech for over 16 years and FF absolutely does not work well on ~25% of websites.

Wanna link those websites so we can see?
