Opera says it will continue to support old Chrome extensions, including uBlock Origin

Google Chrome is enforcing a shift to Manifest V3 for extension developers, potentially limiting ad-blocking capabilities. However, other Chromium-based browsers like Opera are choosing to maintain support for Manifest V2, allowing for more effective ad-blocking. Opera One R2, the company's latest browser version, introduces new AI features while continuing to support legacy extensions. This decision enables users to keep using powerful ad-blockers like uBlock Origin without interruption, setting Opera apart from Chrome in terms of ad-blocking effectiveness.
