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

Yeah all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages to enable Manifest 2, all in 8 easy steps (written as if it's 6 steps to make it seem less onerous). For now. Until Google switches it off completely.

Or, drop Chrome and Chromium based browsers (such as Edge, Vivaldi, Brave etc) in one easy step. Install a privacy respecting Firefox based browser like Firefox itself or Librewolf.

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)

Why jump through all these hoops, and lessen the security of your browser in the process, just to do something that is being fully stripped out soon anyway?

Just install Firefox. It's not like you can't import your bookmarks and such.

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 💪.

you can do it by downloading this version of chrome

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

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

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

Don't use Chrome

Show me "Not use Chrome"!

BZZZT

Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.

Is this actually easier than installing librewolf?

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

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

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.

Chromium? More like copium. /j
