Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.
Implicitly they often do already because web devs have become more and more lazy and don’t test any browser but the one they prefer themselves.
Google has already talked about a plan to cryptographically authenticate a browser. We likely won’t be able to get around that.
As far as I remember they acted in parallel and pushed the implementation already. They claimed it to be rogue actions of over-enthusiastic devs after the concept paper caused a public outcry.
I haven’t followed that issue but Google will continue to try to close us in, for sure.
