uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin is now blocked by Google. uBlock no longer works for Manifest v3.0 and up. Long story short, Google fears and does not want uBlock to exist as it wreaks havoc on ad agencies and websites with deceptive practices. As users main use of computer is using the Internet, protecting our customer is important:

• Recommend to users that Firefox is a better browser for safety.

• Install uBlock on any browser they use.

• You must install manually:
