Description

Solution

Hi there!
I have a suggestion. I have seen that uBlock is now not supported on Chrome.
I found a solution myself.

The extension uses network filters to block the ads.I know that Chrome has removed manifest v2 and switched to manifest v3.
And it provides poor support for networking features, the extension uses.

So instead of hanging around with the Chrome Manifest, you should start a local proxy server in the computer itself. And then set Chrome to pass through the proxy server.
In the proxy server, you should integrate the functionality of extension such as network filters.
This will be undetectable for Chrome and you can modify the body, headers and whatever easily.

Is this solution helpful?

As you can see that Google Chrome has 65.72% of market share in browsers.
Millions of users use it daily. And the extension has also 1 Million users.

Why we cannot make an external application?
It's just a proxy server which extension's logic implemented in it.

The server will run locally on any specific port and then user can set the proxy settings in the Chrome settings.

A suggestion: Can't you just do it?
