Microsoft Edge is about to lock out older ad blockers, just like Chrome did
Summary
The Verge reports that Microsoft Edge will end support for Manifest V2 extensions, effectively cutting off older ad blockers like uBlock Origin. The transition to MV3 will roll out through testing channels with consumer deployment by year-end 2026 and enterprise deprecation in early 2027, prompting users to switch to MV3-compatible blockers or alternative browsers.
