[QUOTE="Gandalf_The_Grey, post: 839133, member: 52096"] There has been lots of talk about Google's proposed changes to the Chrome web browser's extensions system and how these changes would affect content blockers and other extensions. The new manifest file for Chrome extensions could [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/2019/01/22/chrome-extension-manifest-v3-could-end-ublock-origin-for-chrome/']end extensions like uBlock Origin[/URL] for the web browser. Google changed [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/30/google-still-on-track-to-limit-ad-blockers-in-chrome/']some parameters[/URL] after it faced heavy user and developer criticism but did not revert the [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/2019/06/24/first-chrome-browser-with-manifest-v3-for-extensions-expected-in-late-july/']course completely[/URL]. Raymond Hill (gorhill), the developer of uBlock Origin [URL='https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/745']revealed[/URL] recently that Google rejected a new developer version of the extension. Developers upload new extension versions to the Chrome Web Store to replace existing versions; Google runs automated scans of these tools and may also look at the uploaded extensions manually before allowing or rejecting them.
