- 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.
Even if only a fraction of those kinds of users switch, that’s still millions of users chrome loses, and no longer get to make a buck off of.
I agree that every one counts but it won’t break Google’s profit margin.
Doesn’t have to. I’m quite content with google’s profits getting hurt even if it is a little bit.
