馃敀 Ad-Blocking Assured, Extensions Supported
Brave, the privacy-focused web browser, has reassured its users that the upcoming changes to Google's Chrome extensions system, known as Manifest V3, will not prevent Brave from blocking ads.

With over 60 million users, Brave emphasizes its commitment to providing a private browsing experience, search capabilities, Web3 access, and other features.
Reminders: 1. Google's Manifest V3 changes won't stop Brave from blocking ads. 2. We'll support uBlock Origin and uMatrix even after Chrome stops doing so.
> Google has announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 Ah.
