Google's Manifest V3 changes will soon disable uBlock Origin on Chrome
Google has announced that it will move forward with Manifest V3 on Chrome, sounding the death knell for ad-blockers like uBlock Origin.

This article is really wrong, wow. There is already a Manifest V3-compliant version of uBlock Origin, it's discussed in this thread: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338
I don't know if it's stated definitively anywhere, but I'm pretty sure the plan is to roll out that different version to Chrome users as an update to the existing extension. It's going to be slightly worse because MV3 is still missing some API features.
that version works but it's always been a lite version compared to the standard ublock origin with far less capabilities and features.
Right, my point was just that the article is wrong/clickbait. The changes won't "disable uBlock Origin" or "essentially kill off uBlock Origin".
The V3 version of ublock should really use a different name to make it clear it doesn't have the same capabilities as in V2/Firefox. Maybe something like UBlock use-firefox-instead.
