Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

Google Chrome is now encouraging uBlock Origin users who have updated to the latest version to switch to other ad blockers before Manifest v2 extensions are disabled.

    I switched back to Firefox two or three years ago. It was tough at first but now that I have it setup for me, I like it so much better than Chrome. Very little noise, ad-free most of the time.

    Now I only use Chrome when I’m shopping because that’s the only thing it’s good for.

      I couldn’t help, so let me ask What about firefox stops you from using it for online shopping?

      For shopping? That can also be done via Firefox.

            If Google wants to specialize in being a shopping mall with ads, then I am more than happy to use it as such. I don’t run ad blockers as I am fine with ads when I’m specifically trying to shop.

            Aside from that, I just prefer to not connect my daily driver browser to accounts that I use where privacy isn’t a concern for me.

      Chrome is good for shopping? I feel like if anything it would be worse as it is a data collection machine
