 Google warns uBlock Origin and other extensions may be disabled soon

The warning includes a link to a Google support bulletin that states the browser extension may be disabled to protect users' privacy and security.

"To better protect your privacy and security, Chrome and the Chrome Web Store require extensions to be up-to-date with new requirements," reads Google's support bulletin.

"uBO is a Manifest v2 extension, hence the warning in your Google Chrome browser. There is no Manifest v3 version of uBO, hence the browser will suggest alternative extensions as a replacement for uBO,"
