Can you explain this? Is it just a warning message? Does uBlock Origin extension still work in chrome browser?

  When 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.

    Thanks. That's a huge relief. The internet - well, the internet as seen through chrome - is unbearable without uBlock Origin.

      I had to change a registry setting for Chrome that controlled the policy of manifest versions for extensions.

  It'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.

I 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?
