Google Chrome has removed the last feature flags for Manifest V2, effectively disabling MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin in upcoming Chromium 151 builds. Other Chromium-based browsers—Edge, Opera, Brave—face similar transitions, though some may delay MV2 removal, and users can switch to MV3 versions or alternative browsers like Firefox.
- Chromium 151 removes the remaining flags (ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported, ExtensionManifestV2Availability, likely AllowLegacyMV2Extensions), killing workarounds like the registry tweak that kept uBlock Origin alive.
- Edge already blocks uBlock Origin as of February, and Opera—despite promising longer MV2 support—is signaling the same phaseout, leaving Brave and possibly Vivaldi as the only holdouts.
- uBlock Origin Lite (MV3) works on Chrome now but performs worse than the original; Firefox remains the only major platform supporting both MV2 and MV3 without issues.
Chrome now lets you save reusable Gemini prompts as “Skills” for one-click access instead of retyping or copy-pasting each time. Saved Skills sync across devices when you’re signed in, and you trigger them with “/” or the plus button in Gemini. They still require confirmation for actions like messaging or calendar entries.

- Actions like sending messages or adding calendar events still require user confirmation, keeping the same security checks as regular Gemini prompts
