- dstaley 6y agoThere currently is no public date for the deprecation of Manifest v2 extensions, so I think you'll be fine with uBlock Origin for a while to come.
- ehsankia 6y agoHas there been any progression on manifest v3 support for uBO? Has the original maintainer shown interest in adding support, or any other forks? I'm curious to see what the performance/feature set looks likes. From my understanding, they upped the number of filters to 300K, which is 3x what most people use.
- 0xy 6y agoNope, no progression. The uBlock Origin maintainer has explicitly stated that in current form it will kill the extension. The Chrome team closed the issue with no response to his concerns, if you're wondering where their intentions are (obviously they intend to kill ad-blocking).
- SquareWheel 6y agoIt's expected to be trivial to block ads in Manifest v3. The API is a more powerful version of Safari's API which also allows adblocking. uBlock Origin may not be willing to change, but other adblockers will fill that niche.
- marcthe12 6y agoBasically it still does all capabilities needed by the extentions.
- frongpik 6y agoNo, that's a lie. Manifest v3 is carefully designed to allow spying, but prevent blocking.
- SquareWheel 6y agoCan you substantiate that claim? What can't be effectively blocked, and how was it "carefully designed" to allow spying?
- vetinari 6y agoYou can read it all in its full glory at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=896897 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=896897
- SquareWheel 6y agoI've seen this issue report before. It doesn't substantiate the earlier claims made though. Particularly as these comments predate the improvements made to declarativeNetRequest since this issue was posted.

- junippor 6y agoFirefox's uBO support is doing fine.
- judge2020 6y agoThis is a Chrome thread and the OP wants to know the status of manifest v3 in Chrome.
- needle0 6y agoYou should switch to Firefox than to keep using a browser whose owners are pretty obviously trying to kill uBO.
