Google Chrome update will close the door on ad blockers
Summary
9to5Google reports that Google Chrome’s move to Manifest V3 will end support for MV2 and effectively terminate many ad blocker extensions. It cites a Chromium commit removing the MV2-disabled flag and outlines a timeline (Chrome 150 and 151) that will additionally remove remaining MV2 functionality, with potential ripple effects across other Chromium-based browsers. The piece frames this as a security and privacy-driven tightening of extension capabilities and references multiple sources.
