Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow (www.neowin.net)

For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

They could have sat on 30 second ads every 15 minutes till the cows came home and most of us would have been fine with it.

They could have sat on premium family for $9 a month for years and we'd have been ok with it.

They had to be greedy as fuck until none of us want to use their services.

The line has to go up. That is literally the law. The fact that Youtube has a larger income than Disney doesn't mean it will stop. They can never stop. They just can crash and burn down eventually but only after making a few people very very rich.

That's the damn thing, the line could have gone up through getting more people. They decided less people and higher prices would win... it will not

Doesn't chrome have like a 90% market share? I doubt they can get many more people, therefore need to get more out of the ones they have
