Edge is chrome, but from Microsoft instead of Google. Just use brave browser bro.Microsoft Edge disables UBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 Extensions
Manifest V2 extensions from Chrome Web Store are being disabled in Edge Canary
The latest Microsoft Edge Canary has disabled Manifest V2 extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store, including uBlock Origin.
What happened?
After updating to the latest version of Edge Canary, we noticed a message stating:” 2 extensions were turned off. These extensions were no longer supported. Microsoft Edge recommends that you remove them.”
When attempting to manually enable the disabled UBO extension, Edge displayed another message: “Turn uBlock Origin on. This extension is no longer supported. Chrome recommends that you remove it instead.”
Microsoft pushes for Manifest V2 Extensions Phase out in Edge
This suggests that Microsoft has begun applying restrictions on Manifest V2 extensions sourced from the Chrome Web Store.
However, Microsoft allows turn it on and use it, we don’t know how long. We can confirm that Microsoft Edge is no longer allowing the installation of Manifest V2 extensions, such as uBlock Origin, from the Chrome Web Store.
Interestingly, the uBlock Origin extension installed from the Edge Add-ons store is unaffected. We need to wait and see if this is a Chromium upstream change that affected Edge Canary or if it’s a bug.
The company has officially announced it will support Manifest v3, which is a chromium initiative for the extension ecosystem. Likely Edge will allow Manifest V2 extensions to be used by users from the Edge add-ons Store because Microsoft hasn’t specified a time for the transition to Manifest v3 extensions.
