Google to weaken ad blockers on Chrome in a push for security

Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

“Security”, haha yeah right

An extension having access to everything on every page you visit is a potential security issue.

Whether that’s an acceptable risk for you in order to have an extension that blocks ads is another question.

Extensions by definition are a security issue. For that matter, so is being connected to the Internet in the case of a browser.
