Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store

Google is accelerating the adoption of Manifest V3 for Chrome extensions, which will significantly impact ad-blocking capabilities. The popular ad-blocker uBlock Origin is disappearing from the Chrome Web Store and will become obsolete by June 2025. Users will need to switch to less effective Manifest V3-based alternatives or choose a different browser. Firefox remains committed to supporting Manifest V2, offering a better ad-blocking experience according to uBlock developers.
