My sense is that with this Manifest v3 stuff, or something similar, eventually Google is going to make it impossible for UBO to operate up to the standards Gorhill sets for it and then users may have to make a choice between Chrome and UBO. Chrome for Android doesn't even allow extensions like UBO or other ad-blockers.Įven if you prefer Chrome on desktop, it might be worth giving Firefox on Android a try for the extensions alone:īut I do think it's fair to ask for help or support on any browser officially supported by the UBO extension.

I'm posting this right now from Firefox for Android, which I have UBO installed on, along with a bunch of other extensions. Mozilla lets it incorporate features that Google won't allow UBO to incorporate on Chrome. So, having defended their right to be here, let me also say this, though. If Gorhill decides to pull UBO from the Chrome app store or Google decides to bar UBO or UBO-like extensions from Chrome and people in the future are just trying to jury rig a forked version of UBO roughly based on the code from the last Chrome version and/or the continuing Firefox versions of UBO, then is when I'd agree with telling them to go start their own sub-reddit. I'm not a fan of Chrome either, but, to be fair here, Chrome is an officially supported platform for UBO with an officially supported UBO extension, so it seems perfectly reasonable to me that people using UBO on Chrome would stop by the UBO sub-reddit to discuss any problems they are having.
