Chrome Web Store warns end is coming for uBlock Origin

Google 's Chrome Web Store warns end is nigh for uBlock Origin add-on.

Google Chrome users will have to find an alternative to uBO before Google Chrome disables it for good.

An estimated 34 million people have installed ublock Origin , according to CWS statistics.

"As a personal user, I hereby swear to uninstall Chrome the day ad blockers are removed." The other ten reviews posted on August 5, 2024 make similar statements. "If or when Chrome kills this extension, I will move to Firefox and never return," wrote someone posting under the name Henry A. At this point, it's definitely "when," not "if.".
