Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

Google Chrome is now encouraging uBlock Origin users who have updated to the latest version to switch to other ad blockers before Manifest v2 extensions are disabled.

    It is, but I’m pretty sure they have to give all users the choice now in the EU, when you launch first time.

      I think it’s the other way around, Android has to ask you what you want your default browser (and search engine?) to be, but if you choose Firefox, it will still have Google as its default search engine.

      Firefox’s marketshare isn’t big enough to count as a gatekeeper, I don’t think.

        Ah yes, maybe you are right.

        Come to think of it, I only saw this on Safari, Android and Edge, and they are all gatekeepers.
