Chrome users are losing their best ad-blocker

Google has officially started removing Manifest V2 extensions from Chrome, which is the architecture that powers the most capable ad-blockers like uBlock Origin. If you've been happily blocking ads for years, your setup is about to get a lot less effective — and switching to Firefox or another MV2-friendly browser is now a genuinely practical option worth considering. This one matters whether you care about privacy, performance, or just not watching pre-roll ads.
