As they note in the article, this is a temporary measure, I.E. guaranteed to break soon.

Start switching to Firefox now so you're done when they finally turn it of. Ignore any other Chromium based browsers, it's unlikely they have the manpower to extend MV2 beyond what Google supports with their LTS releases.

Just fucking switch

you can do it by downloading this version of chrome

Eh.

After years and years of Chrome I just up and switched on Friday when they finally pulled the plug.

No regrets. No waving from the stern of the ship as I sail away from Chromeland.

If they choose to take away a valuable tool I consider necessary for browsing the web, then I have no loyalty to them and can easily move on. Took all of 10 seconds to import my shit into Firefox and be on my way.

Bye, Chrome. Thanks for being useful, until you weren't.

Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

you can enable ublock in chrome by downloading firefox from chrome, installing it, then installing ublock in firefox and finally removing chrome

I'm struggling with the concept of people putting effort into using uBlock Origin with Chrome.

People will do anything, but use Firefox

Or like, just switch already?

Using an adblocker on chrome is the funniest shit, that’s like using a condom to fuck a sheep.

Good job using a condom, but what the fuck are you doing fucking a sheep?

Just ditch chrome. Done.

God, this is like those people who still insist on running Windows 7

For those that do need to use Chrome for whatever reason, don't bother with all this faff just use uBOL, it's just as good as uBO

Is this actually easier than installing librewolf?

Use librewolf or fennec (Firefox forks)

just install firefox ffs.

You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google's ass, here is how.

Don't use Chrome

"While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet."

Just fucking switch already!

Can't wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it's prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it's useless and can't even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025...

Yeah all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages to enable Manifest 2, all in 8 easy steps (written as if it's 6 steps to make it seem less onerous). For now. Until Google switches it off completely.

Or, drop Chrome and Chromium based browsers (such as Edge, Vivaldi, Brave etc) in one easy step. Install a privacy respecting Firefox based browser like Firefox itself or Librewolf.

JUST FU***** CHANGE BROWSER ALREADY! Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome?

Just use Firefox. Its people's fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly
