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.

Ludites unite, might be time to go back to the old ways.

Zen still works beautifully. The only downside I've come across is that there isn't a mobile app, so the ability to hand off isn't there.

In the past, origin has just changed to work again. Is that out of the question now?
