NewzMicrosoft has initiated the phase-out of support for Manifest Version 2 (MV2) extensions within the Edge browser. This transition is part of a broader migration to the Manifest Version 3 (MV3) platform, which the company intends to complete by the end of the year.
The shift to the new architecture will result in the discontinuation of several established ad-blocking extensions, including uBlock Origin. The move aligns Edge with the updated technical standards for browser extensions, impacting the functionality of existing tools that rely on the legacy MV2 framework.
