Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

▤ Summary

Chrome is removing support for Manifest V2 extensions, which will break long-running workarounds used by uBlock Origin and similar add-ons. The change also affects other Chromium-based browsers, including Edge and potentially Opera, as they move toward Manifest V3. Users who want to keep filtering and blocking features will need to switch to MV3-compatible alternatives such as uBlock Origin Lite or move to browsers that still support both versions. Opera later clarified that it still supports MV2 for now, but it is also transitioning toward MV3 and limiting older extensions. The article also notes that Opera is adding its own MV3-based native ad blocker.
