So many awesome MV2 extensions — many are not adblockers have been removed now by Chrome in version 150.x. I tried the workaround method, it's a chore to perform every few hours. Worst of all, it's temporary. Surprisingly, the MV3 extensions of Adguard & uBlock Lite are just as good as uBlock Origin MV2 in my experience so I'm using them now. uBlock developers says to switch to Lite or another browser. RIP to all the great MV2 extensions that were once on Chrome! Otherwise Brave still has MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin.

Review summary

Users largely praise uBlock Origin as one of the best ad blockers with strong blocking and extensive filters. It generally improves the browsing experience and works across sites and some non-Chrome environments. However, recurring concerns focus on Chrome/Google policy threatening its availability, and persistent issues with YouTube where ads are inconsistent or detected. Occasional crashes and site-specific blocking gaps are also noted, with some updates temporarily reducing effectiveness on certain sites. Pros Very effective ad blocking; widely regarded as one of the best.Rich filtering and customization options (plenty of filters and custom filters).Improves browsing experience by removing ads on most sites; users report fewer interruptions.Good compatibility with non-Chrome environments (e.g., works on ungoogled-chromium/Linux Mint). Cons YouTube blocking is inconsistent: ads can slip through or YouTube detects the adblocker.Chrome/Google policy changes threaten availability: extensions may be blocked or removed from the Chrome Web Store, prompting users to switch browsers.Occasional crashes or site-specific issues (e.g., It makes YouTube crash).Some sites still show ads or are not fully blocked (e.g., Twitch ads slipping through, Rutube blocked).Recent updates can temporarily disable blocking on certain sites (e.g., YouTube in versions 1.68/1.69).
