Honest question here, since chromium (vs chrome) is open source, can someone not fork an older version, or remove the new code blocking ublock?
I mean i assume it cant be done, but i dont know why

I don't know why either. What I do know is that most Chromium browsers that are not Chrome have ad-blocking built into the browser itself using the same strategies as uBo but not reliant on Mv2 or Mv3 because they're not extensions.

It kills the full version of uBlock but there is a lite version that has fewer functions as well.
Oh great. Back to sucking Google’s teat for me then!

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.
I've had good luck with uBlock Lite.
(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).
