Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
- Google is transitioning Chrome's extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won't be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there's a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn't boast the original version's comprehensive ad-blocking features.

Could use Brave, built using chromium but has ad block built in.
Edit - have been made aware that brave is not ideal - Link
Edit edit! - Yeah, Brave's CEO sounds like a grade a dick. I've switched to Firefox for sure. Not been here in a while.
No thanks. Brave got some serious problems and you might as well use Edge or something that isn't owned by a bigot.
Oh shit, I've only got a few lines into the article but will read the rest soon. Ty.
