Based on a static, fixed limit of URLs. That cannot be updated without resubmitting the extension to Google for reapproval. Which match using a fixed, dumb matching algorithm that Google alone controls (negating a number of the more sophisticated pattern-matching based rules UBlock Origin relies upon). > Adblock plus works fine with the new changes, for example. That the crappy adblocker that has largely sold out to advertisers is unaffected by this change is hardly a ringing endorsement. Ublock Origin’s dev is complaining about this new API precisely because it cripples the much more sophisticated ad blocking rules that are Ublock Origin’s entire advantage over less sophisticated, less performant, less effective ad blockers like Adblock plus.
