              At large organizations you're generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it's a no, it will probably stay a no.

                      There's the futile hope I suppose that antitrust cases going on against Alphabet might force Google to divest Chrome from its advertising arm, so that there's no pressure to make this whole thing worse. Hah, in my dreams.

                      On paper they gave the keys to the Linux foundation, but since they still pay most of the developers working on it the only thing it might achieve is taking resources away from Servo.

                        Many chromium browser have built-in adblockers and some of them are on-par with uBO. These are not extensions, so Google can't really do anything about them. Not worried in the slightest.

                          I can't install anything. I'm lucky I can install uBlock Origin because I worked out later most extensions are disabled too. But I guess it's only matter of time until that disappears.

                            I work for a non-profit and they are way more lenient about what we would like to install as long as the job gets done.

                              Officially only Edge is supported, but Chrome is tolerated. It's a full MS environment.

                                There's a way to save your already-installed extension, in "Manage Extensions..." Enable dev mode, then Pack Extension.

                                However the browser will probably just refuse to run it soon.

                                Vivaldi, for what it's worth, seems to still run uBlock Origin just fine. I am afraid to uninstall it now to test if it'll re-install properly.

                                My version: 7.1.3570.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

                                Might be time to finally move to Firefox though, if Vivaldi doesn't keep Manifest V2 support.

                                Vivaldi isn't even fully open-source anyway, so it's worth leaving regardless.

                                  Yeah. What company wouldn't allow it?

                                  When I was working for an ad exchange, everyone had adblock installed in their browsers, I found that quite ironic.

                                    But ublock origin lite is by the same dev.. Not as many features but it conforms to the new rules and is still much better than not having a blocker if you use chrome or edge.

                                      Well I would seriously consider paying money to a team that keeps it there, if Chromium actually removes the code. I hope others will consider it as well. We need to fight this, even if it means paying some money to a foundation to do so.

                                      Use Firefox and you don't need to worry about that. Everything being Chromium comes with a whole lot of different problems.

                                        Same here. The worst thing is in their justification of disallowing Firefox they listed that it was not an enterprise application. I get that it might be extra effort to support it but don't list something factually untrue as a lame cop out for why you don't want to.

                                          My work uses a web-based interface that's very annoying to use on Firefox. I'm unfortunately tied to Chrome in the meantime, so uBlock lite is a lifesaver.
