Google continues its rollout of gradually disabling uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in the Chrome web browser as part of its efforts to push users to Manifest V3-based extensions.

For those unaware, Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension specification and is designed to limit extension access to user network requests, block developers from utilizing remote content, and improve overall performance.

While Manifest V3 is supposed to benefit end users, it comes at the cost of functionality, as it imposes stricter limitations on browser extensions, particularly ad blockers and privacy-focused tools.

Due to this, some immensely popular Google Chrome extensions, like uBlock Origin, are now gradually being automatically turned off in users' browsers worldwide.

Just today, some of BleepingComputer's devices found that uBlock Origin was automatically disabled, stating it was no longer supported. Our only options were to remove the extension or manage it. 

While the first option removes the extension from Chrome, the second simply redirects you to the extensions page.
