• 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.

    That’s because “firefox” (or “chrome” too) on apple products is just a reskin of Safari. Apple does not allow 3rd party browser engines in its app store.

    That’s because 3rd party browser engines might not suck ass, which would allow OWA apps in your browser whcih would circumvent Apple’s 30% cut on everything. So they kneecap their own browser and don’t allow any other browser on their devices.
