Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
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.

Firefox is the bomb.
Yea, I'm just waiting for the bomb to go off when Mozilla inevitably ends up following Google's example.
Thankfully, Firefox is open-source, so we can just use one of the forks, or perhaps Ladybird will be ready for general release by that time.
Firefox already adopted manifest V3 but specifically kept the features needed for adblockers
Yep, I'm watching intently with the shit they've been doing.
YouTube isn't playing on Firefox with Ublock for me either. I'll need to go through and reinstall my extensions, but I couldn't find the root cause so far, I'd just been using chrome with ublock for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.
Make sure
jnn-pa.googleapis.comisn't blocked anywhere in your network. It may perhaps be blocked in a filter list you have activated in uBO, DNS, VPN, Firewall, anti-virus, Firefox enhanced tracking protection, etc.Try NewPipe or a fork of that for YouTube on Android.
It doesn't have recommendations or ability to comment does it? And ReVanced is still working for me on Android.
Saaaaame for me on PC. Such a bummer.
FreeTube is available for Windows and Android. It has SponsorBlock built in as well.
It is... revolutionary.
