[Tutorial] Restoring access to uBO on Chrome 138 using flags - video tutorial



Posted on Fri Jul 11 12:12:06 2025 UTC


It should be possible to also restore it on Chrome 139 using the "unexpire m138" flag that will be available in it, but starting 140 the flags are reported to be gone.

It might be possible to temporarily restore access on 140 using a Chrome Web Store migration plan? · uBlockOrigin uBlock-issues · Discussion #2977, but we don't know how long that's gonna last.

It's best to treat these options as the way to restore access just to backup your custom settings and then grit your teeth and make the switch to another browser or another extension.

uBO Lite might be a good replacement for some people, but it's never going to have all the same capabilities as uBO. This is a framework limit that can't be overcome.
Element picker is currently being developed. Its current version is much more simplistic than uBO's, but future versions are supposed to bring it more in line with the original.

Yup. Seems like switching is quite literally the only option.

│ you can fix it with:

│ chrome://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m137 [Enabled]

│ Then restart Chrome and you can set:

│ chrome://flags/#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning [Disabled]
│ chrome://flags/#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-disabled [Disabled]

Limitations of uBO Lite (uBOL) compared to uBO:

Filters are only updated when a new uBOL version is published, and there is no fetching of up-to-date lists from servers. This reduces the effectiveness of uBOL compared to uBO.
Many filters are dropped at conversion time due to MV3's limited filter syntax. This further reduces the effectiveness of uBOL compared to uBO.
No crafting of custom style-based or procedural cosmetic filters, only plain CSS-based filters are currently supported
No Dashboard: Filter lists
No Per site switches
No Dynamic filtering

For more details, see the FAQ for uBOL: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
