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.

    I always wondered about this and how all the ad blocking apps have complete access to every webpage you visit.

    Also to add to this, its made a little weirder considering ad blocking makes you more susceptible to fingerprinting.
