Google recently disabled uBlock Origin and other extensions for Chrome users with no apparent option to restore them. The good news is that you can still make uBlock Origin work. Here is how.
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.

I think this is a very important point that too few people are raising and it’s getting buried under the spam of “switch to Firefox” messages. Yes, switching to Firefox is an option. But clearly some people don’t want to do it, and we give them these workarounds without saying what they really do and without highlighting that they are potentially dangerous. You use your browser for a large part of your interaction with your computer, so any downgrade in security is going to be significant. To me, the short-term implications of this are far more important than the longstanding Chrome-vs-Firefox discussion.

My thoughts exactly, just ditch chrome
