Is there a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome >= 138?


Chrome updated today and notified me ublock origin is not supported. I tried to install it from GitHub but:

    Failed to load extension
    File
    ~/Downloads/uBlock0.chromium
    Error
    Cannot install extension because it uses an unsupported manifest version.
    Could not load manifest.
Is there any way to use ublock origin on chrome, or is it necessary to switch to firefox?

No. But there is a new version which works essentially as well. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/...

As far as I can tell, there is no way to continue using manifest v2 extensions. Chrome support page [1] says the deadline for enterprise support has also already passed, so it seems like they have completely disabled it.
