Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

SMRTR summary

Google Chrome is ending all support for Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions, meaning popular ad blockers like uBlock Origin will stop working permanently, with no more workarounds. Starting with Chromium version 151, all bypass methods — including Windows Registry tricks — will be removed. Microsoft Edge and Opera are expected to follow, while Firefox and Brave remain safe options for users who rely on MV2-based ad blockers.
