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.

    It only has Chromium which somehow is worse than Firefox. We need something that supports all the same features as Firefox but isn’t a fork

      Are you talking about the rendering engine? Safari still uses WebKit. Everything else was killed off by chrome. No one wanted to make addons for Internet Explorer, so they switched to Chromium as well.

      It would be extremely difficult to put something new into the market at this point. If even Microsoft lacked the resources, it’s hard to imagine anyone succeeding IMO.

        That’s certainly what I mean, but I can’t speak for anyone else. I used Opera for years until they switched to being a Chromium-based browser, and Safari isn’t an option on Windows or Linux, so I use Firefox. It’s really not any more complicated than that.
