    Failed to load extension
    File
    ~/Downloads/uBlock0.chromium
    Error
    Cannot install extension because it uses an unsupported manifest version.
    Could not load manifest.

Is there any way to use ublock origin on chrome, or is it necessary to switch to firefox?

A little OT, but tangental: when I discovered uBlock didn't work on Chrome last week I downloaded Arc for the first time, and am completely blown away. Its weird how you sort of assume the standard is good enough for something and forget about other innovations. Pleasantly surprised to have discovered Arc this way.

No. But there is a new version which works essentially as well. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/...

Switching to the lite version of the extension has been as easy as 'set and forget', for me.

I'm sure there are some differences somewhere but it seems to be working well.

I'm glad it's still an extension by Raymond Hill (gorhill), since I trust that guy more than any corporation.

He's been on everyone's browser extension list for ~a decade (?).

Thank you. Tried it on a few pages and seems to work a treat!

As far as I can tell, there is no way to continue using manifest v2 extensions. Chrome support page [1] says the deadline for enterprise support has also already passed, so it seems like they have completely disabled it.

No. Yes. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-Google-Chrome's...

Is there an iOS ad blocker existing as well?

I wonder this too. The ones I’ve tried so far didn’t work well.
