Not the page title, works fine in some browsers.

About Google Chrome's "This extension may soon no longer be supported" (182 points, 6 months ago, 45 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41140185

In June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 (143 points, 1 year ago, 52 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38361758

I have not used chrome since... 2017?

I've been entirely fine all that time.

The linked page doesn't say anything about this, but it's true. I just restarted Chrome and it turned off uBlock Origin. However, it was easy to ignore the warning and turn it back on.

The link goes to the normal uBlock Origin landing page, which contains no suggestion that anything has been disabled... It contains, among other things, some details about how some functionality is reduced in some browsers due to Manifest V3, is that what the title is getting at? Regardless, "uBlock Origin has been disabled" seems like a falsehood, unless there's something I'm missing?

Can you explain this? Is it just a warning message? Does uBlock Origin extension still work in chrome browser?

When I restarted Chrome, it showed me a warning that uBlock Origin was disabled because of.. something about compatibility. I then went to "manage extensions" and clicked the button to turn it back on. Chrome said something to the effect of "Are you sure? That's an incompatible extension, so maybe don't turn it on." I clicked on "Turn it on anyway" and it's been fine since then. If I restart the browser again, uBlock Origin stays on and works fine.
