Microsoft Edge to phase out support for older ad-blocking extensions like Chrome
Microsoft is starting the process of ending support for Manifest V2 extensions in its Edge browser. As a result, older ad-blocking extensions such as uBlock Origin will be gradually disabled by default. The Verge reported on Aug. 7 that Microsoft will sequentially end support for remaining MV2 extensions starting this month. Microsoft said only 58 MV2 extensions have meaningful use in the Edge add-ons store, and just three are not available on MV3.
