Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it


As Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin and other unsupported extensions, rivals like Brave and now Opera have confirmed they will support it. The latter has explained how it hopes to do so.

AdGuard for Windows, a fairly popular content and ad blocker, received a major update a couple of days ago that fixes a Windows-induced NETIO BSOD and promises dark theme on every webpage using Userstyles. Speaking of which, uBlock Origin, probably the most popular ad blocker out there, was recently axed by Google Chrome as, unlike AdGuard, it is no longer supported. While we missed it initially, Opera, had already published a blog post about it stating that it would continue supporting uBlock Origin and other such MV2 browser add-ons and extensions.
