uBlock Origin
Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.
IMPORTANT: uBlock Origin is completely unrelated to the site "ublock.org".
uBlock Origin is not an "ad blocker", it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature.

i guess its firefox or vivaldi, shove ads in my face ill just not use the internet, its just ai rot made by 8yr olds anyways
Google has removed hundreds of Mv2 extensions and not because they are the best at what they do. Brave is removing them too. Use uBlock Lite or Adguard. The end.
Bye Bye Chrome <3 Brave here I come xD
Google removed it because it was the best.
So: YouTube gives me trouble for having an ad-blocker on. And since I realize they won't allow this, and I had installed this only for YouTube, I remove it from extensions. What happens is: YouTube ads continue to be blocked, and YT keeps giving me trouble. Solved only upon reinstalling this extensions, and disabling ads on YT. You should code it, I'd say, so that when it is uninistalled all its effects are removed with it. BY THE WAY: this is still available on the Vivaldi Browser: a browser built on Chromium, with full access to the Chrome Web Store, but much unlike Chrome otherwise.
You guys can't download uBlock or what's up? I downloaded it just now and it works fine..
Fk you Google..
And alas, one of the few things that makes browsing the internet tolerable is gone. Shame on you Google. You are lucky that using Brave on my Chromebook is more trouble than its worth.
How to reinstall Unblock Origin and get the most updated one: 1. Go to https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases and download the most update chromium.zip 2. Unzip the folder inside 3. Go to 'manage extensions' 4. On the top right you'll see 'Load unpacked', select it 5. Then select that Ublock0.chromium, and there now you have Ublock again. And if you get any Manifest errors, you can check out this website that can help you get around it: https://winaero.com/how-to-restore-manifest-v2-and-ublock-origin-in-google-chrome-139/
yuck fou! google! is this your "best practice"?
welp this was the best ad blocker sad to see it gone
greatest extension out there when it still was able to download, sucks that Google is greedy b and wants people to watch ads every 5 seconds. This extension made the internet safer, keeping people away from scams that ads casually give out. RIP, best ad blocker to ever exist
works on FF, and with that I have begun my exodus from chrome
The only extension that made Chrome worth using
The best browser extension ever.
My browser rides shotgun with this. Essential for how the current state of internet is.
Best out there, but you have to look for it now...
F O O K GOOGLE FOR REMOVING THIS AWESOME ADDON!
the GOAT of adblockers
We still think about you
bring it back man
RIP
it got shadowbanned lol, but very good!!!!!!
Made internet usable. See you all on Firefox (hopefully)
One of the best extensions ever, and shame on Google for killing it. Looking to find another browser now.
Thanks uBlock Origin, it was great while it lasted. Too bad V2 extensions are permanently axed starting from Chrome Version 140+, RIP.
Great ad blocker, see you in firefox
An adblocker that worked so well the corpo's killed it because they were loosing too much money.
I am so sad to see it go! As of 20 minutes ago google chrome will no longer let me force Manifest V2 Extensions. I am formally switching to Floorp (A FireFox based browser...) It is really a shame.
Probably the single best ad blocker in existence
So sad that Google is blocking it
uBlock Origin unsupported Info: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Google-Chrome's-%22This-extension-may-soon-no-longer-be-supported%22 TLDR: Install uBlock Origin Lite
RIP to the #1 AdBlocker on Chrome
awesome
Best adblock ever. left chrome to continue use.
Great app. Switched from chrome just to keep it.
why did u guys remove ubo why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good bye. The workarounds and extension shortcuts don't work now. Firefox is too slow for me, eventually they'll move to MV3. Developer of uBlock says they won't support Chromium based browsers in the future. It's sad how Google is normalizing ads and adware.
You just have to disable and enable some fast flags to use this actually amazing extension for god knows how long
Switching off of Chrome because Google and Youtube are run by slimey jeets that hate ad-blockers. KYS Google.
The internet is unusable without uBlock Origin. Even the workaround to use it on Chrome is no longer available to be. Chrome was already on thin ice with me. I'll be switching to Firefox and would recommend everyone else still on Chrome change browsers as well. Free Palestine
Goodbye Chrome/ium. I don't appreciate you telling me which extensions I can run in my browser. I also don't appreciate not being able to choose which tabs can be active and which cannot. So much resource consumption.
I don't know what I would do without this extension, it's basically required nowadays
Youtube's blocking it again.
doesn't work on Youtube, update please
uBlock Origin is more worthy than Chrome altogether. I'm changing browser because of this
Google is scum for removing this. People don't want to be forced to view ads. Especially when half of them are malware. I genuinely think people should start a class action lawsuit, because this is a blatant violation of anti-trust laws.
Great job Google. No wonder you dropped your "Don't be evil" motto. You've finally forced me to go back to Firefox. We will not accept your censorship or forcing ads on us. Restore Ublock Origin or suffer the consequences.
On good browser: Ublock Origin - GET - "Switch to Chrome to install extensions and themes INSTALL CHROME" On Chrome: "LOLOLOLOLOL NO"
