Trash press. Click-baity article that doesn't even attempt to explain that the solution is to install the similarly named "uBlock Origin Lite" which is the Manifest v3 counterpart and works perfectly fine out of the box, and is on-par with uBlock Origin after giving it a few extra permissions (2 clicks).

The v3 FUD spreaders remind me of systemd haters.

> If you're affected by Google's Manifest V2 deprecation, you can switch to Manifest V3-supported extensions, such as the uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL), which the uBlock Origin developer has created.

> However, if you prefer uBlock Origin's advanced filtering, you may find the Lite version too limited.

The article is not FUD or trash press. At least they explain the background and what is going on. I had this issue popping up in my Chrome without knowing why. Google Chrome did not tell anything about why they wanted to disable it. It seemed really weird.

At least from that article I get some background and know what to do to get uBlock Origin back.
