uBlock Origin Has Been Disabled
- Meekro 2y agoThe linked page doesn't say anything about this, but it's true. I just restarted Chrome and it turned off uBlock Origin. However, it was easy to ignore the warning and turn it back on.
- nomilk 2y agoCan you explain this? Is it just a warning message? Does uBlock Origin extension still work in chrome browser?
- Meekro 2y agoWhen I restarted Chrome, it showed me a warning that uBlock Origin was disabled because of.. something about compatibility. I then went to "manage extensions" and clicked the button to turn it back on. Chrome said something to the effect of "Are you sure? That's an incompatible extension, so maybe don't turn it on." I clicked on "Turn it on anyway" and it's been fine since then. If I restart the browser again, uBlock Origin stays on and works fine.
- nomilk 2y agoThanks. That's a huge relief. The internet - well, the internet as seen through chrome - is unbearable without uBlock Origin.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoI had to change a registry setting for Chrome that controlled the policy of manifest versions for extensions.
- GeekyBear 2y agoIt's become common practice to implement unpopular changes in a way that can be reverted, at first. Later, the change will be forced on all users. For example, the Windows 11 hardware requirements were extreme enough that some of the then current computers sold by Microsoft didn't meet the spec, but there was a temporary option to bypass those requirements. > Microsoft makes its stringent TPM 2.0 Windows 11 upgrade requirement "non-negotiable" — potentially leading to the single biggest jump in junked and unsupported Windows 10 PCs https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/microsoft-makes-tpm-2-0-upgrade-requirement-non-negotiable https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/micr... Google is following the same playbook here. At first there is a workaround. Lster,it us removed.
- Brybry 2y agoI generally use Firefox but uBlock Origin still works on Chrome 133.0.6943.127 for me without any warning or intervention. I do have developer mode already toggled on which might make a difference?
- isoprophlex 2y agoI have not used chrome since... 2017? I've been entirely fine all that time.

- gattilorenz 2y agoNot on Firefox :) Also, this should have (2024) in the title

- mort96 2y agoThe link goes to the normal uBlock Origin landing page, which contains no suggestion that anything has been disabled... It contains, among other things, some details about how some functionality is reduced in some browsers due to Manifest V3, is that what the title is getting at? Regardless, "uBlock Origin has been disabled" seems like a falsehood, unless there's something I'm missing?
- hnuser123456 2y agoA couple weeks ago, chrome updated, and forcefully disabled any extensions that didn't conform to the new standards, and displayed a popup to the user that they had incompatible extensions that were disabled.
- mort96 2y agoWould've been nice of either the title or the linked content to mention any of that

- mirashii 2y agoThen it seems unlikely you've given ublock origin a real try. Not only can you just use the adguard filter lists in ublock origin, but DNS-based adblocking is and has been increasingly insufficient. What ublock origin can do is a strict superset of what adguard can do, and will perform better as you avoid sending out network requests at all.
- beretguy 2y agoI use NextDNS with almost all filters enabled. It blocks about ~30% off all requests.
- oktoberpaard 2y agoYet it can’t block anything from a hostname that also serves regular content (that is, without also blocking the regular content). A good example is YouTube ads. I’m also a happy NextDNS user, but I don’t browse the internet without an adblocker extension.
- dev-jayson 2y agoWorking fine on FireFox. Can someone from Chrome Confirm?
- dcow 2y agoWhy do people still use Chrome? At this point every argument for switching to Chrome from IE back in the day now applies to Google Chrome.
- mort96 2y agoBecause 1) Google pushes it hard with their extremely popular web services, and 2) it feels more snappy than Firefox. I mean I use Firefox, but any time I have to open Chrome for whatever reason, it just feels like the UI is responding a handful of milliseconds faster than Firefox, even on very powerful hardware.

- Yizahi 2y agoI was recently at a local IT meetup, a majority of us were senior developers. And a topic took turn to browsers and Chrome at some point, so of course I've had to voice my two cents about Chrome monopoly and Firefox :) . A few guys were genuinely surprised and asked me "You are using Firefox?" as if it was something unthinkable. To me this was incomprehensible. I'm using FF on Windows since beta and FF on Android since its release and I'm baffled why doesn't anyone else (well, advertising is the answer of course).
- tim333 2y agoI use it. It works well. The new lens thing is cool. You really have to spend a while scouring tech forums to find out how you are a sinner for using it.
- dcow 2y agoYes, it obviously works well. I use it occasionally too. The question is why, culturally, there hasn’t been the same push towards something else when all the reasons we migrated off IE now apply to Chrome. Maybe Google permanently won the “browser placement on the internet’s homepage” game?

- xnx 2y agoI haven't been following this multi-year saga closely because my test is simple: as soon as I see an unwanted ad in Chrome, I'm out. Haven't gotten there yet.
- Hizonner 2y agoGoogle Chrome has been disabled.
- JacobJack 2y agoIndeed... Today, Chrome simply removed uBlock Origin (and Redirector, which I use regularly in development). That's the last straw... Besides, I don't see how I can surf the web these days without uBlock Origin.
