Google Chrome: removal of uBlock Origin and other unsupported extensions has started
#1
Exclamation 
Quote:More and more Google Chrome users are receiving popup notifications that inform them that one or multiple extensions have been turned off because they are unsupported.

The popup is shown directly on start and lists all the extensions that were turned off. Google states "This extension is no longer supported" or "These extensions are no longer supported".

Tip: you can extend support by one year by following these instructions.

Google recommends that these get removed from Chrome. The popup highlights the remove option, but there is also a link to manage extensions.

Note that the extension is already disabled. Even if you do not pick an action, the extension won't work anymore.

When you check the extensions listing, Chrome lists all disabled extensions at the top. At this stage, it is still possible to restore access to the extension, but this will only be an option for a short period.

Restoring turned off Chrome extensions

Here is how that is done:

  1. Open the Manage Extensions page in Chrome. An easy option is to load chrome://extensions/, which opens it. You may also select Menu > Extensions > Manage Extensions.
  2. Activate the three-dots-icon next to the disabled extension.
  3. Pick the Keep option.
  4. Confirm Keep again when the popup appears.
