minus-squareASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27arrow-down26·1 year agoNOT ENTIRELY TRUE. 🤦 Google confirms they will disable MV2 extensions including uBlock Origin in mid 2024 MV2 extensions. Ublock Origin Lite is MV3 based: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh Yes, it’s not exactly the same, in how filters are embedded instead of updated separately. In any case, this is part of Google’s long (long, since 2018 or earlier?) transition to MV3. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/ https://9to5google.com/2023/11/16/chrome-extensions-disabled/ So let’s put down the pitchforks and Monster energy drinks for the moment. This isn’t the attack on adblockers you think it is.
