#12While some here don't seem to like it, instead of replacing uBlock O, I suggest replacing Chrome with Brave.

#13If the DoJ manages to make Google sell Chrome before the new administration, will that stop this disaster?
Probably.
There's no good technical reason why ublock and similar addons are being un-supported, merely Google's whims. If a non-advertising company buys it they won't have any reason to go through with this.
I can only imagine that there will be a whole new can of worms though, trying to maintain a technically complex project with no revenue stream, likely loss of a lot of the core developers, and chaotic management.
It might well recover and turn into a fine project. In the meantime though, firefox seems like the best bet whether chrome is removed from Google or not.

#14I just use brave now. Comes with decent ad blocking out of the box.

#15The technical reason was that uBlock Origin uses the "Manifest V2" extension interface. The new "Manifest V3" standard ever-so-coincidentally doesn't provide the tools necessary for thorough ad-blockers like UBO.
You should switch to a browser that maintains support for good ad-blockers.

Probably not. I'd reckon even the other corporate donors and contributors to Chromium apart from Google will be in favor of Manifest V3 and killing content blockers.

Thanks. How to get back previous configuration in uBlock advance user setting?

And this is why I agree with the government that Google has to sell off Chrome.
This behavior just pisses me off. “Don’t do evil”, my ass.
