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.

Thanks. That's a huge relief. The internet - well, the internet as seen through chrome - is unbearable without uBlock Origin.

I had to change a registry setting for Chrome that controlled the policy of manifest versions for extensions.
