Developer would have to release a new version every day because currently, that’s the only way to update the filters. This is very time-consuming, and the approval process for the add-on also takes time, which means the filters will be outdated on the day the add-on is released in the store. If Google doesn't backtrack on the manifest v2 block, I’m not sure if uBlock for Chrome won’t be completely abandoned.
Now, instead of focusing on the development of the program, the developer will waste time and resources on releasing pointless new versions just to update the filters, because otherwise, users will be dissatisfied.

Unfortunately this is what they wanted we still have adguard but it’s abit heavier it is reasonably priced. It works wonders for windows but on IOS on youtube i get black acreens that prevent videos from loading. I sent multiple bug reports hopefully next version that will be fixed.
