Ah ok my mistake, Lite has been removed as was no longer supported by the dev.
These chrome notification Virus Alerts are getting out of control!

Just updated my Firefox to 131.0 and uBlock Origin remains.
I Recently updated Librewolf to 131.0.1-1 and uBlock Origin is still present as well.
I rarely use Firefox - as Librewolf is my browser of choice.

I use Brave with Popper Blocker and that works wonders.

Vivaldi is an excellent option for those who want built-in ad blocking, too.

No they haven't, I installed it yesterday.
It's right here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Still present, and still a recommended plugin.
Oh... I see:
They removed UBlock Origin LITE!
That's a different plugin, and I've never used that nor know enough about it to have an opinion.
*Edit*, Reddit discussion clearly shows on review Firefox realized they screwed up, and restored the plugin. But the author has kept it down in protest over Mozilla's plugin review process... which we rather have to have to keep the malware out of that library.
Ugly situation... I don't have a great solution for this. Reviews are annoying, but it seems the process worked as intended, and correctly. Accelerating it to reduce the burden on the author isn't terribly possible in a Zero Trust world. Author looks... infantile here.

Popular ad blocker uBlock Origin Lite pulled from Firefox store
Due to a conflict with Mozilla, the add-on's developer has taken it off the Firefox Marketplace.

I do believe this is what I said? I don't need a click bait, ad infested article to tell me what happened when it's clearly indicated in the github discussion.

I stated that it was Lite after the OP.

Yes... I'm being slow today.
I still think the plugin author is being an infant. Mistakes in review procedures happen, and they are very much required for a reason.

Yes same, I think the dev jumped quicker than Atari devs.

Google Chrome and all other "Chromium" based browsers (including Edge, Brave, Arc etc) will not support uBlock Origin from next year (June 2025,) under Google's V3 Manifest.
It may continue to support Ublock Lite which is a hobbled and limited version that is V3 compliant.
Steve Gibson has a .reg edit that turns off the nag in Chromium based browsers and allows you to use uBlock Origin (and other V2 extensions) indefinitely (or until Skynet...er Google cotton on to it...)

Yeah I got it...was just wondering where you found the link at to begin with...I didn't see it posted anywhere on that video show notes or on the grc.com site. I know that video was well over 2 hours long and I haven't had a chance to watch it all yet...maybe it was mentioned there within the video. No biggie was just curious. Thank you.
