IT Home reported on August 3 that Raymond Hill, the chief developer and maintainer, posted on GitHub yesterday, stating that starting with version 127 of the Google Chrome browser,The uBlock Origin (uBO) extension will pop up a reminder that "support for this extension will soon end."

reason

IT Home Note: Google has abandoned Manifest v2 in the new version of Chrome browser and instead supports Manifest v3.

The uBO extension is currently written based on Manifest v2, and Manifest v3 has not yet been released. Therefore, the Chrome browser will recommend using other extensions to replace uBO:

alternative plan

uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is a stripped-down version of uBO that does its best to convert the filter lists used by uBO to a Manifest v3 compliant approach, focusing on reliability and efficiency as has been the case with uBO since its initial release in June 2014.

However, it should be noted that in the Manifest v3 environment, due to the focus on reliability and efficiency,This means that functionality must be sacrificed and many functions cannot be realized.。

future development

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL. uBOL is too different from uBO to replace uBO in the short term, and users can also explicitly choose which extension to replace uBO according to their wishes.
