TL;DR

Google is switching Chrome from MV2 to Manifest V3, which will end official support for MV2 extensions and effectively disable popular ad blockers such as uBlock Origin; MV3 caps filtering and removes dynamic blocking, limiting ad-blocking effectiveness, though it doesn’t ban blockers outright. A Lite version of uBlock Origin exists with reduced functionality. Other browsers may continue MV2, but Chrome’s transition is slated to roll out with Chrome versions 150–151 this summer.
