[alizaincodes]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

Solution

Hi there!
I have a suggestion. I have seen that uBlock is now not supported on Chrome.
I found a solution myself.

The extension uses network filters to block the ads.I know that Chrome has removed manifest v2 and switched to manifest v3.
And it provides poor support for networking features, the extension uses.

So instead of hanging around with the Chrome Manifest, you should start a local proxy server in the computer itself. And then set Chrome to pass through the proxy server.
In the proxy server, you should integrate the functionality of extension such as network filters.
This will be undetectable for Chrome and you can modify the body, headers and whatever easily.

Is this solution helpful?

I have seen that uBlock is now not supported on Chrome. I found a solution myself.

Another solution is to switch to Chromium forks, which still support uBO, like mentioned there:

• https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Google-Chrome's-%22This-extension-may-soon-no-longer-be-supported%22#will-development-of-ubo-continue

The extension uses network filters to block the ads.
and you can modify the body, headers and whatever easily.

uBO uses far more than networks filters, see:

• "This extension may soon no longer be supported" #3309 (comment) - at least points 1,2 and 5 still apply to proxy idea, proxy idea is better than hosts idea, but still not sufficient.

Besides, if proxy idea means that uBO would have to become an external application, then it was already discussed and declined here:

• Change approach : make uBlock an application instead of a browser plugin ( a.k.a. : save uBlock from Manfest V3) #3023
