They have stated they will be slowly removing v2 extensions for users instead of removing them all at once. So, they just haven’t gotten to you yet. You will have to switch to use ublock lite, and it’s not as good.
Even if it does work for now, idk why you would want to support the company trying to get rid of necessary extensions and remove any sense of ownership of your own browser, like Google is doing.
Just switch to FireFox and get it over with already.
Apparently, they’re currently in the process of turning people’s Manifest V2 extension off. They seem to be stretching it out over a few weeks to sidestep a shitstorm.
Afterwards, there will still be uBlock Origin Lite, but the dev didn’t choose that name for funsies. It will be even worse at ad blocking, and be missing some important features like automatic block list updates and the element picker.
it only works for hiding ads, it is powerless to protect any of your privacy anymore. ublock origin is much more than an adblocker, but ubo lite is basically just google’s mockery
Ublock still works on chrome for me.
Works for now…

Still is the key word

I believe uBlock will continue to work, just not as well.
I see zero ads
oh okay it works for you, I guess the developer claiming it will not work as well on Chrome as on Firefox was complete BS 🤡
Not saying that. Just saying it still works. Sorry I’m offending Lemmy by saying something works on chrome but it does.

Not offending anyone, just unintentionally misrepresenting reality.
Not on android
There’s Firefox for Android and Ublock Origin works just fine. In my option it works better than the default browser.
How does that relate to my comment?
It doesn’t.
