Google has announced that it will soon disable unsupported Chrome extensions, including the popular ad blocker uBlock Origin. This move is part of Google's plan to phase out older Manifest V2 extensions to enhance Chrome's security. uBlock Origin, which has over 39 million downloads on the Chrome Web Store, will be among the extensions affected by this change. The decision has sparked concern among users who rely on these extensions for ad blocking and other functionalities. The announcement was reported by Sayan Sen and has implications for Windows 11 users.
