I've been using AdNauseam. It's built on top of ublock origin, the difference is that also simulates a click from the user.
<AdNauseam 'clicks' Ads by issuing an HTTP request to the URL to which they lead. In current versions the is done via an XMLHttpRequest (or AJAX request) issued in a background process. This lightweight request signals a 'click' on the server responsible for the Ad, but does so without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. Further it allows AdNauseam to safely receive and discard the resulting response data, rather than executing it in the browser, thus preventing a range of potential security problems (rogue Javascript or Flash code, XSS-attacks, etc.) caused by malfunctioning or malicious Ads. AdNauseam's clicking behaviour can be de-/activated in the settings panel.>

I'm trying this Adnauseam, thanks for the heads up. Have you noticed Chrome popping up with a message saying it's not supported ? I do get that developers mode message though...
Bastards at Google finally killed off my uBlock Origin today. Not happy so I'm on a mission now to find something to replace it with so I've no adverts in YouTube...

Ublock Origin still works for me.
I got the "This is no longer supported" blah blah, and it disabled it. I just turned it back on and seems to be fine.
Adnauseam seems self-defeating. Sure it swamps the ads by making it look like you clicked all of them (unable to filter you to targeted ads). But this generates click ad money for the advertisers, reinforcing that people click ads and make them money.
Seems like this would make the problem worse of advertisers seeing click-through rates to be encouraged to do more, not less.

uBlock Origin Lite is still up:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh
If you need to install uBlock Origin in a fresh PC then you can do so from GitHub:
1. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
2. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases
3. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.62.0
4. Download the file: uBlock0_1.62.0.chromium.zip
Extract the .zip file.
5. To install, in this page, with Developer mode enabled:
chrome://extensions/
click on Load unpacked, then go to and choose the folder where the
- managed_storage.json
- manifest.json
files reside.
DO NOT REMOVE this folder while extension is installed.
On the downside, you'll have to check for updates manually in the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases
While logged into your GitHub account, you can sub to email notifications for new Releases and other things by clicking on Watch > Custom > Releases
on this page, at the top:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
The major point of contention is that Google is disabling extensions based on Manifest V2 which uBlock Origin is primarily based on. You can read all the details here:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Google-Chrome's-%22This-extension-may-soon-no-longer-be-supported%22
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)
This is what Google Generative AI has to say about this topic:
| Quote: | Yes, Google Chrome is deprecating Manifest V2 extensions and will no longer accept them in the Chrome Web Store. The goal is to improve the security and performance of extensions.
How is Manifest V2 being deprecated?
- Warnings: Users of Manifest V2 extensions see a warning banner in the extension management page
- Disabled extensions: Manifest V2 extensions are disabled in Chrome stable
- Featured badge: Manifest V2 extensions lose their Featured badge in the Chrome Web Store
- Recommendations: Users are recommended Manifest V3 alternatives for their disabled extensions
When is Manifest V2 being deprecated?
- The phase-out of Manifest V2 extensions began in June 2024 on the Chrome Beta, Dev, and Canary channels
- Enterprises using the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy have until June 2025 to migrate |
Made some edits.

I switched to the "Brave" browser after i had to keep updating Ublock for Youtube adds.
Absolutely love it thus far. I didn't even have to install a extension for adblocking and i had zero issues since, it even made me install it on my phones. Installation was a breeze as well.
Empty again

Well I've tried Brave and FF and I have to say I'm not impressed with either. Both have terrible scrolling, very jerky. I've tried a few extensions and they only seem to make it worse. Out of desperation for my beloved uBlock Origin and smooth scrolling, I tried Edge. Well colour me impressed. I have smooth scrolling and uBlock Origin is working again. Everything is back to normal with the world.

Vivaldi also still blocks ads for me without any addons.

So apps need to update to Manifest v3? Glorious.

Maybe mine hasn't got the update to break it. Mine still works that I installed years ago.
I got the "This extension will be disabled" (or whatever the message was) and Chrome disabled it a few weeks ago. I just re-enabled it and it's been OK.
Maybe just not updating Chrome works, as it seems minet hasnt auto updated since then and working A-OK.
