Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

    Chrome, edge, they only exist to download Firefox as far as I’m concerned.

        Even still Firefox, for the time being, is still a better option than edge or chrome.

          Firefox changed their TOS to allow them to harvest data for their AI (if you’re using their AI, so far as I’m aware).

    FWIW, uBO Lite set to complete is still quite effective.

      You might want to use an Invidious instance, which hasn’t been blocked by Google (typically smaller instances) or a dedicated YouTube application, like FreeTube.
      It’s the YouTube webpage that’s coded like absolute fucking garbage and to only work on Chrome. The watching-videos part works just fine on Firefox.

        I’ve always had problems with video playback with Firefox. With that being said I’ll check out free tube
