As Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin and other unsupported extensions, rivals like Brave and now Opera have confirmed they will support it. The latter has explained how it hopes to do so.
AdGuard for Windows, a fairly popular content and ad blocker, received a major update a couple of days ago that fixes a Windows-induced NETIO BSOD and promises dark theme on every webpage using Userstyles.
Speaking of which, uBlock Origin, probably the most popular ad blocker out there, was recently axed by Google Chrome as, unlike AdGuard, it is no longer supported. That is because uBlock Origin, among others, is a Manifest V2 (MV2) extension and Google wants MV3.
This prompted a response from Brave which went on to remind users about its built-in ad and tracker blocker and also added that it « still supports » uBlock Origin.
However, Brave is not the only one to come out with an assurance. While we missed it initially, Opera, had already published a blog post about it stating that it would continue supporting uBlock Origin and other such MV2 browser add-ons and extensions.
With the release of Opera One R2 as a stable release (it has already been in Dev channel testing since June of this year), the browser maker has again reminded users about support for MV2 extensions.
