Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
  • Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

    Not trying to troll or anything, but what can Chrome do that Firefox cannot?

    I’ve always felt like Firefox has more useful features like screenshotting, etc.

      Last time I checked: tab groups. Yes there are extensions for it, but all the ones I tried were either really over complicated or buggy. Chrome tab groups are pretty simple and seamless to use.

      But I’m going to have to figure something out because I’d rather lose tab groups than ad blocking, so I’ll have to switch to something.
