New Update uBlock Origin Extra has been discontinued

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Important: As of October 20, 2020, uBO-Extra is discontinued and is no longer present in the Chrome Web store. Instart Logic's anti-user agent technology appears to have gone away and consequently the extension has become useless, as its main purpose was to foil Instart Logic's 3rd parties obfuscation technology.

I never used it myself but that's two of his projects gone. Maybe I should go back to ABP or Adguard.

There is still enough development going on for uBlock Origin:

Release 1.30.7b0 · gorhill/uBlock

Commits to master since this release To install the developer build: Firefox: Click uBlock0_1.30.7b0.firefox.signed.xpi. uBO works best on Firefox. Chromium: Install from the Chrome Web Store (...

github.com

Beta version just released yesterday.
I think maintaining three extensions was too much work for him.
It's not a bad thing to put your focus on just one extension.
So, I'm not worried for now.
AdGuard would be the best alternative I think but for now I will be keeping uBlock Origin.
We will see what will happen after manifest v3 is implemented in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Cool, thanks Agreed, focusing on one project probably a good thing.
