TL;DR Summary

Chrome versions 150 and 151 will remove the last vestiges of Manifest V2 (MV2) by eliminating references to it, ending support for older ad blockers like uBlock Origin. MV2 was phased out in 2024, so only MV3-compatible blockers will work from Chrome 151 onward. Google’s Devlin Cronin notes the change is due to complexity, tech debt, and security risks, pushing users toward MV3 extensions or other browsers.
