ICYMI, Google has confirmed it would soon make it impossible to keep using unsupported Chrome extensions like uBlock Origin.
If you have been a regular Neowin news reader, you are probably aware of what Google is up to nowadays when it comes to ad blockers and extension support. The company is waging a two-front war as it tries to render adblockers and content blockers useless, at least on YouTube, with supposed server-side-injected ads that could potentially become very difficult, if not impossible, to block.
Second, the company also has plans to make it impossible to enable unsupported adblockers, among other extensions and add-ons, on Chrome which include the likes of the highly popular uBlock Origin. These unsupported extensions are based on Manifest V2 API which has been succeeded by Manifest V3.
