@bremner Chromium ist the messenger that the UBlock people refused to update their extension even after this step was announces several years in advance. The UBlock people decided to rename and sending this message to everyone instead of simple upgrading the extension.

@waldi OK, I didn't know the background. As a user that doesn't change my decision.

@waldi @bremner Yes, they refuse to do so, because the main functionality *cannot* work in manifest v3.

@waldi @bremner UBlock didn’t rename their extension, they made a lite version of the extension that can work with manifest V3, but it’s a lot less powerful than the original one, due to limitations imposed in V3, by Google. Google is both messenger and the origin of the message.
