For the moment, the best possible solution seems to me simply disabling auto-updates. On long-term, if supermium can port over the critical fixes from chromium, ubo v2 may still survive with chrome-ish packaging.

For larger context, the ecosystem is fragmenting, and I have ~10 browser extensions that are critical to me. I don't think I will prioritize chrome's software cadence over my own preferences, thank you.

There's still uBO Lite. I tried it. It's not as good as uBO (it doesn't offer ad zapper, no Javascript, etc), but most of that stuff is probably stuff your typical user won't need, and of the community that does use uBO's more advanced features, most of them are probably on Firefox or Brave or whatever.

Don't worry. The same thing will happen to it on firefox eventually. They always copy everything chrome does.

The issues at hand is Manifest V3 . Firefox has already modified their implementation so that extensions like uBO will work.

I do not believe them or you. Firefox will copy chrome it is the only thing they know how to do.

The lite version can't block ads lmao. It just tries its best.

Given their track record, I do believe you.
