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.

    The addon I found to reload broken streams and collect drops while I’m at work only has a Chrome version.

    The question is, is it gonna have a Manifest V3 version?

      Looking at it, seems not. Google store page says it doesn’t follow best practices and may soon no longer be supported. AFAIK it’s a single dev hobby project so this might be the end of it. Ah well. I’ll just no longer have as many free skins for games.

        Yeah, that FOMO is a bitch. I had to break myself of obsessively clicking for drops for games I don’t own or haven’t been playing.
