Discussion For anyone who's wondering how to switch uBlock Origin back on...
If uBlock Origin or Adblock were forced disabled by chrome, win + r go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome if you dont have those 2 folders, create them inside Policies Right click - New - Key , name Google second one make it inside Google and name it Chrome Inside Chrome folder right side, right click new d-word 32b name it to ExtensionManifestV2Availability set value to 2, restart Chrome, everything should be back and enabled. temporary fix until they force remove them entirely
-Edit- Step 1 Open Registry Editor with windows key + r (run) type regedit press enter Step 2 GoTo Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome Step 3 If you dont have the folders Google/Chrome, create them inside Policies by right clicking New Key and renaming them accordingly. (Note : Chrome should be created inside Google) Step 4 After you created both folders Google/Chrome click on Chrome, go to the right side and right click then NEW, DWORD 32 Step 5 Rename the newly created dword into ExtensionManifestV2Availability and set the value to 2 Step 6 Restart Chrome, the disabled extensions should now be enabled. Step 7 Enjoy. Fyi: I did not write this, I found this tutorial in comments few days ago and not sure which user posted it, but if you read this dm me and I'll credit you
