I am confused. uBlock Origin is still available in the webstore <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal...>. Do we talk about the same extension and/or is it just disabled for Chrome and not for Chromium/Brave etc.? Just curious.

I answered the questions half way myself.The ext. gets disabled because it is manifest 2 not manifest 3. Manifest 2 will be disabled by ~mid 2025 in the Store.

Seeing: seeing https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Goo...

And asking: What are the diff between manifest 2 and manifest 3 ext?

What is the problem to move to M3? And why is this a ban?
