The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software architecture will lead to less effective privacy and content-filtering extensions.
For users of uBlock Origin, which runs on Manifest V2, “options” means using the less capable uBlock Origin Lite, which supports Manifest V3.
Just quit Chrome…
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
It’s all we can use at work besides Edge which is just a reskinned Chrome.
On my personal devices it’s 100% Firefox as they have great features like sharing pages between devices and extensions on the mobile browser.
You can’t use another Chromium based browser? Brave and Vivaldi will maintain support for Manifest v.2

They might maintain it for a while, but their whole business model is built on the idea that they don’t have to develop a browser themselves. The longer they maintain v2, the more they have to patch the main chromium release. Eventually it will be enough development time that they’ll give it up. It’s a company and they’ll only do something as long as it’s profitable.
I disagree, their entire business model is built on the idea that they are different from Chrome. Native Adblocker is a feature they advertise. People use their browsers because of this difference and will stop if this difference no longer exists.

Most IT places don’t let end users install software.
Petition the IT boffins about the loss of security when uBlock gets removed from chrome.
No everything is managed by IT due to IP concerns. We don’t even have privileges to install programs on the computers.
Just want to quote reddit users
