Google to Disable Ad Blockers like uBlock Origin on Chrome with Manifest V3
Oct 14, 2024, 08:14 AM
Google is set to disable support for popular ad-blocking extensions such as uBlock Origin on its Chrome browser. This move comes as Google transitions to Manifest V3, which will render many existing ad blockers inoperable. Users are being advised not to update their Chrome browser to avoid losing these extensions. Alternatives like the Brave browser, which continues to support uBlock Origin and other privacy-focused features, are being recommended. Google has faced criticism for this decision, with some accusing the company of using its Windows browser market dominance to stifle competition and bolster its advertising monopoly. Brave's built-in privacy protections are also highlighted, including features that stop tracking links.
