Is there anyone in the know aware of why Chrome warns that this extension may no longer be supported soon because it doesn't follow best practices?? I love this extension...what would be the next best option if they do? Thanks.

Change browsers, many other Chromium choices. Mozilla Firefox is Open Source. See if AdGuard extension works.

When Chrome went to once a week updates on Tuesdays, along with Analytics, and now your "best practices" report, is in best interests for Google to make money off your free usage,

I made the change to not touch Chrome. Likely uBlock would have to tame down what they do, if they want to continue with Google Chrome.

Firefox has been acting weird now a days. In my tests I found, it is taking more ram usage as compared to chrome

Vivaldi browser have its own ad blocker built in.  I find it of good quality in my run of the browser for a couple of weeks.  Also Floorp browser which is presently based on Firefox ESR will continue to support ublock extension.

TY.

You can postpone that for about 1 year by adding a registry key

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"ExtensionManifestV2Availability"=dword:00000002

It is due to google enforcing the use of extension manifest v3, which is fundamentally a downgrade for all adblocking extensions. Switch to firefox or use some other chromium based browser that still allows manifest v2 extensions.

That's right also for FireFox (I will precise later)..

But according to the changelog of Vivaldi-v6.8, this feature was improve sic... Apparently on the smartphone, despite the update the same ads didn't vanish.
