EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO -- you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

@TheImpressiveX

Maybe you should update the title, since it is factually incorrect.

Thanks, fixed.

IIRC the Google crackdown was supposed to happen this past January so Chrome users are lucky they got some extra time to switch.

I haven't used Chrome in years now. Firefox has always been my home.

UBlock for Chrome is going away, no matter what Google says about Manifest.

I already switched to Firefox after Netscape.
