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.

    Yep, the main reason I started using adblockers in the first place is because I was tired of the weekly disinfection routine of my pc.

    Hiding ads wasn’t my main motivation to start with, I just wanted to keep my system safe and shit free.
