Google will begin disabling Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome starting June 2024, impacting content blockers and other extensions. Users will be notified and given a short period to re-enable these extensions before they are permanently disabled. Enterprise customers will have an additional year before the policy is fully deprecated. Firefox will continue to support Manifest V2, while most Chromium-based browsers will follow Google's lead.

Google to Begin Phasing Out Older Chrome Extensions on June 3

Google will begin phasing out older "Manifest V2" Chrome extensions starting June 3, affecting popular ad blockers like uBlock Origin. The transition to the newer Manifest V3 framework, which Google claims is more secure and private, will be completed by early next year. While some users may temporarily re-enable V2 extensions, this option will eventually be removed. The move has raised concerns among users about the effectiveness of ad blockers under the new framework.

Google's Plan to Weaken uBlock Origin and Chrome Extensions Raises Concerns

Google plans to phase out older Chrome extensions, including uBlock Origin, starting in June 2024. The phaseout will initially cover beta versions of Chrome, with the company gradually rolling out the change and gathering user feedback. Google aims to transition from the older Manifest V2 system to Manifest V3, which offers improved security for Chrome extensions but has faced resistance from ad-block providers due to potential restrictions on content filtering. AdGuard has responded positively to the ongoing changes, while the developers of uBlock Origin have created a version called uBlock Origin Lite that is designed to work with Manifest V3. However, there is debate over whether the lite version can fully match the functionality of the original extension.
