Well Chrome has finally done it!! - king1 - 14-07-2025
Chrome version 138 has turned off all my manifest 2 extensions and won't let me re-enable them...
Thanks to a post here
https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1lwztf1/ublockorigin_fully_disabled_on_chrome_now/
The next best work around is to modify the 'Target' field of the chrome shortcut - modifications in bold
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled
How long this lasts is anyone's guess - bit of an irony calling something being disabled or unsupported as a feature me thinks...

Why do people keep using Google's spyware browser anyway?

Because we are tech illiterate, despite following all the youtube hints to keep our devices safe.
But that question ignores the fact that not everyone can cook, or draw, or sing, or read music, or use a skill saw or a drill press...
Each to our own!

Ahhhhh... That's what they did the rats. Now I get ads when I stream my Emmerdale episodes on the laptop?
Bastards.

It's really not that hard to install a different web browser though...
If you know how to install programs at all, you can do it.

Yes, but I'm lazy...
I have tried others, firefox etc, but chrome is very easy.

King! It worked, thank you.
My guilty pleasure is back to ad free, lol...
