Google recently disabled uBlock Origin and other extensions for Chrome users with no apparent option to restore them. The good news is that you can still make uBlock Origin work. Here is how.

    Just use Firefox. Its people’s fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly

    “While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet.”

    Just fucking switch already!

    Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

        I used ironfox too, just a lot of website functionality was broken using it. (At least for me and this was months ago). Settled on fennec.

      That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow.

        It blows my mind how many people use chrome over edge thinking that they are making super smart choice. I feel like I was still seeing memes on reddit making fun of Edge over Chrome.

          And here I am, seeing both as equivalent. I honestly don’t see a meaningful difference between Edge and Chrome…

            To be clear, that’s exactly what I mean. I use Firefox, but I find the edge vs chrome debate amusing.

      Nope. It also sounds like it will repeatedly break after updates.

    You can, but you should just switch to Firefox or accept ads in Chromium Browsers.

    I can imagine that in the long run it will get harder for their forks to block ads with any extension.

    I can’t wait for Ladybird in the future 💪.
