How could they even allow this? Isn’t ublock an independent plugin?
Also, how about other chromium browsers?
EDIT: click bait headline, chrome is just deprecating a dependency it uses and ublock isn’t using the new version yet.
Edit 2: I didn’t realize v3 was nurfed intentionally,
Fuck google
The word "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your edit. The replacement for that dependency doesn't allow an extension to work as an ad blocker as effectively as the thing they are deprecating. This is deliberate.
Added a second edit :)
