Starting with Google Chrome 127, there will be a warning for uBlock Origin (uBO) in your `chrome://extensions/` page:
![a](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/40c6c11f-aef5-4b97-ba2b-c63dc76f219e)
This is the result of [Manifest v2 support](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline) being deprecated in favor of [Manifest v3](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/what-is-mv3).
uBO is a Manifest v2 extension, hence the warning in your Google Chrome browser. There is no Manifest v3 version of uBO, hence the browser will suggest alternative extensions as a replacement of uBO:
![b](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2dc9d217-5c52-441a-b406-e29180707df8)
uBO Lite (uBOL) is pared-down version of uBO with a best effort at converting filter lists used by uBO into a Manifest v3-compliant approach, with a focus on reliability and efficiency as has been the case with uBO since first published in June 2014.
However the focus on reliability and efficiency in a Manifest v3 environment meant having to sacrifice many features beyond those not possible within a Manifest v3 framework.
See the [official uBOL FAQ webpage](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)) for more details about how uBOL compares to uBO.
Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL; uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO, you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.
Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you.
