The linked page doesn't say anything about this, but it's true. I just restarted Chrome and it turned off uBlock Origin. However, it was easy to ignore the warning and turn it back on.
When I restarted Chrome, it showed me a warning that uBlock Origin was disabled because of.. something about compatibility. I then went to "manage extensions" and clicked the button to turn it back on. Chrome said something to the effect of "Are you sure? That's an incompatible extension, so maybe don't turn it on." I clicked on "Turn it on anyway" and it's been fine since then. If I restart the browser again, uBlock Origin stays on and works fine.
It's become common practice to implement unpopular changes in a way that can be reverted, at first.
Later, the change will be forced on all users.
For example, the Windows 11 hardware requirements were extreme enough that some of the then current computers sold by Microsoft didn't meet the spec, but there was a temporary option to bypass those requirements.
> Microsoft makes its stringent TPM 2.0 Windows 11 upgrade requirement "non-negotiable" — potentially leading to the single biggest jump in junked and unsupported Windows 10 PCs
I do have developer mode already toggled on which might make a difference?
