Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
  • Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

    Good, smart IT would have installed ublock and locked that shit down. Saves bandwidth and protects the kids.

    But you’re probably right, most IT departments are useless.

      Yeah, I’m not saying it’s not a good practice, but I just don’t see them doing it.

      Don’t think it saves bandwidth unless it’s a DNS level block, which IT should also do but separately from uBO
