I'm using UnGoogled Chromium right now, and it seems not to be willing to install uBlock Origin. You can use uBlock Origin Lite. Ironically, The author of uBlock originally recommended switching to Firefox; I wonder if he'll want to change that recommendation now...

The recommendation is because Firefox is the only browser running full uBo (and even before uBo on FF had slightly more features than Chrome). Nothing changed there.

I do hope that any FF replacement can run uBo. Well, ideally the best situation is FF changes course by putting the users in control, but I don't see that happening.

This is nothing to do with UnGoogled Chromium, but with Chromium . UnGoogled Chromium removes the Google parts, it's not making architectural changes.

FWIW uBlock Origin Lite is basically the same user experience as uBlock Origin.

More accurately, UnGoogled Chromium removes the Google parts, but doesn't add back in the stuff Google killed.

I'd say your statement is not more accurate, but rather more specific. To be accurate ;)

Works fine on my machine. What version/distribution are you using? There's a specific patch to enable manifest v2 extensions, so it's supposed to be working.

I downloaded a Windows binary from here:

and had not heard about this patch. Links are appreciated...

Apparently, at some point, manifest V2 support was introduced. Maybe my build was too old, maybe there was some other issue, but - it seems that current Ungoogled Chromium for Windows builds _do_ support manifest V2.
