- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.

- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
Susceptible to intrusive ads and viruses.
