uBlock Origin developer recommends switching to uBlock Lite as Chrome flags the extension
github.com
Google Chrome users with the uBlock Origin extension installed started noticing that the browser flagged the extension as "soon to be unsupported." Here is why this happens and what to do with it.

EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO – you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it’s not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

    Virtual environments exist and are the backbone of modern IT. Surely we can teach kids how to boot Docker?

    Also your demonic line doesnt add up, the ye can still say the Chromebooks are demonic and make the kid leave it outside the house or something.

      Except they have to use the Chromebook to do schoolwork. I’m not sure why you are acting like this is some weird rarity when it’s really standard.

      And no, expecting a six-year-old to understand much more than clicking on the default home page is not something we can “surely teach.” Because they’re six.

        What about 7 year olds?

        Is it just 6 year olds we need to handhold docker image launching?

        I understand Chromebooks are standard and I desire that to change, hence this entire thread you’ve been commenting on.

        I seem to interact with you a lot, and sometimes it feels like you get lost in all the posts and comments you make and lose focus of the entire conversation at hand.

          Expecting all, or even most, children in an elementary school to understand that is silly.

          All I can think is you’ve never raised any children if you think most six or seven-year-olds could understand that.

          School, again, is supposed to be about fairness, not catering to the smartest kids.
