Episode Details

Microsoft is phasing out Manifest V2 extensions in Edge, impacting popular adblockers like uBlock Origin — mirroring Chrome’s move. While most extensions have already migrated to the newer Manifest V3 platform, a few holdouts are affected. Users can switch to compatible alternatives like uBlock Origin Lite or consider browsers like Opera or Firefox that still support Manifest V2. The transition begins now, with users getting advance notice, and Microsoft aims to fully migrate all regular users by year-end, with business users following in early 2027. Driven by security and performance improvements, this shift reflects a broader industry trend toward modernizing browser tech — a necessary evolution, even if it means adapting your tools.
