- Firefox announced in a Bluesky post that its support for uBlock Origin would continue.
- Microsoft Edge is expected to block uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based ad blockers after switching to Manifest V3, which would deny those extensions key functions for identifying and blocking ads.
- Like Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and Samsung Browser, Edge is based on Chromium, whose shift to Manifest V3 was initiated by Google and is now being followed by Microsoft.
- According to the article, Firefox is therefore the only major browser supporting uBlock Origin, while Safari and DuckDuckGo do not support it and other browsers offer uBlock Origin Lite or built-in ad blockers.

- Google permanently disabled all Manifest V2 extensions, including uBlock Origin, in Chrome 138.
- Users can temporarily restore these extensions by enabling and disabling specific flags via chrome://flags.
- Once Chrome 140 is released, these flags will be removed, requiring shortcut modifications to keep MV2 extensions active.
- Ultimately, users must switch to Manifest V3 blockers or browsers like Firefox that still support MV2.
