uBlock Origin extension is getting deproclated on Google Chrome .

Google is moving extensions to the new Manifest V3 standard, which it says improves privacy and security.

The new API allows ad-blockers to block content without requiring users to give up as much sensitive data, sometimes unknowingly.

Google has a mixed reputation with the web development community, particularly when it pushes technology with its own interests.
