Hot Take Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

[lokamoka820]

After trying most extensions recently I finally decided on ADGuard for Windows for Firefox & Edge (which I don't use often) & Ublock Origin with Wolf - I did have issues with ADguard but all is well for some time now & my family/lifetime licence for ADGuard had been honoured for many years by the developers - Google can do as it pleases.

What extensions did you try and what exactly the problems with each one of them?

Ad Guard extension, UB Lite, I found neither was was as good as AdGuard for Windows esp. with YouTube - Lite I found got corrupted in Edge up for unknown reasons - As mentioned a while ago AdGuard for Windows crashed from time to time, that no longer happens & over the last couple of weeks or more has been flawless - Personal choice of course but likely to stay with my Desk adblocker.

I agree that AdGuard for Windows is very good, but unfortunately it slows down Firefox browsing, at least on my computer…last time I tried it was like 8 months ago. Any changes since the?
thanks

They have made a fair amount of updates, I suppose the best thing is to give a fresh install a try, it doesn't seem to slow Firefox down here.

I haven't experienced any slow downs unless it's conflicting with some security software. Normally Adguard developers are quite fast to fix those conflicts. Last time I saw any real impact was some 3 or 4 years ago when it has a well known conflict with Kaspersky.

Exactly, I have some BSOD when I used AVG, AdGuard and Firefox combined, and I blamed all three, but it was a conflicting between AVG and AdGuard, if I use only one of them I don't have any problems.

Avast and Adguard have a known conflict for the last few years. Adguard developers said in their blog that they can't solve it as it's a problem with Avast's network driver they can't avoid. There'll be crashes but very occasional. Last time I tested anything Avast (Norton 24) I got 3 crashes in 3 months of use.

When you visit the uBlock Origin page on the Chrome Web Store in Google Chrome, you see a notification near the top that states that the extension is no longer available.

Google writes: "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."

The "add to Chrome" button is not displayed anymore for that extension. If it is installed, Google displays a "remove" button instead.

The "Remove" button isn't displayed if you have "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" policy enabled. None of the warnings are.
