I think the disclaimer that you’re not affiliated with the uBlock Origin project is too low down on the page. It really just looks like an official project until you scroll, and even then the text is easy to miss.

I would move the disclaimer up higher and maybe remove some of the uBlock branding to make it more obvious that it’s not affiliated. Plus, it seems the browser could be used by more extensions that would be affected by MV3, so maybe it would be better to do a rebrand anyways.

Anyways, that’s just my two cents. Good look with the project, looks like you have a great start!

Thanks for the feedback! You’re absolutely right — many extensions have been affected, and we’re open to helping out. We focused on uBO specifically because many of us have used it and felt like something meaningful was being pushed aside by Google, with little that could be done to prevent it from within Chrome itself. That’s how we came up with the idea to build something dedicated that still feels familiar to users.
