As they note in the article, this is a temporary measure, I.E. guaranteed to break soon.

Start switching to Firefox now so you're done when they finally turn it of. Ignore any other Chromium based browsers, it's unlikely they have the manpower to extend MV2 beyond what Google supports with their LTS releases.

Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

you can enable ublock in chrome by downloading firefox from chrome, installing it, then installing ublock in firefox and finally removing chrome

People will do anything, but use Firefox

Just ditch chrome. Done.

Just fucking switch

Just user Firefox lol

Let it go bro. Just switch to Firefox & co. Or at least use it less for something that does not require ad-blocking.

Or like, just switch already?

I'm struggling with the concept of people putting effort into using uBlock Origin with Chrome.

Eh.

After years and years of Chrome I just up and switched on Friday when they finally pulled the plug.

No regrets. No waving from the stern of the ship as I sail away from Chromeland.

If they choose to take away a valuable tool I consider necessary for browsing the web, then I have no loyalty to them and can easily move on. Took all of 10 seconds to import my shit into Firefox and be on my way.

Bye, Chrome. Thanks for being useful, until you weren't.

Use librewolf or fennec (Firefox forks)

You can, but you should just switch to Firefox or accept ads in Chromium Browsers.

I can imagine that in the long run it will get harder for their forks to block ads with any extension.

I can't wait for Ladybird in the future 💪.

JUST FU***** CHANGE BROWSER ALREADY! Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome?

you can do it by downloading this version of chrome

"While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet."

Just fucking switch already!

You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google's ass, here is how.

Don't use Chrome

I would make a toxic relationship joke but this shit is just not funny.

Show me "Not use Chrome"!

BZZZT

just install firefox ffs.

Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.

Just use Firefox. Its people's fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly

I hate chrome with a passion and it really sucks that Firefox isn't as convenient for profiles, a feature I rely heavily on, although, I'm still switching. fuck ads and fuck data harvesting, I'd rather have a slightly less performant browser than be visually assaulted and have my performance tank.

God, this is like those people who still insist on running Windows 7

Lots of comments in here saying to just use Firefox, and they're entirely correct, but the one use case for articles like this I could think of is where you are forced to use Chrome at work but can still install extensions.

Using an adblocker on chrome is the funniest shit, that’s like using a condom to fuck a sheep.

Good job using a condom, but what the fuck are you doing fucking a sheep?

My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.

Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.

Over the years I've bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I'd be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.

Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.

The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that "came with the computer" you're going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.
