uBlock Origin will soon stop functioning in Chrome as Google transitions to new browser extension rules.

    Its still the same extension, same source code, same logic, just less capable

    the same… but not the same… ??

    I think the technologies are quite different.

    uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing – uBOL’s service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.

    Are you claiming non-lite does the same, plus more?

    You say it’s the same source code, but it’s an entirely different source code repository. non-lite, lite.
