We didn’t create the browser with commercial success in mind — there’s no monetisation associated with it. Our goal is to address a practical problem faced by uBO Chrome users in a way we can. If it gains sufficient traction among them, and not only, we’d consider it a successful initiative.

Of course, using Firefox is a choice we fully respect. This project was created in the spirit of offering users users with more options.

Thanks for the feedback! You’re absolutely right — many extensions have been affected, and we’re open to helping out. We focused on uBO specifically because many of us have used it and felt like something meaningful was being pushed aside by Google, with little that could be done to prevent it from within Chrome itself. That’s how we came up with the idea to build something dedicated that still feels familiar to users.

That’s a valid point, and one we’ve carefully considered. The technology behind uBlock Browser is also used to develop private-label browsers for independent software publishers, which could be impacted by open-sourcing. However, we’re open to trusted community members or privacy advocates reviewing the source code under an NDA to ensure transparency and reinforce our commitment to privacy.

We did reach out to the uBO team because we’d love for them to join the initiative, but we haven’t received a response yet. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to collaborate in the future.

Hey everyone. We just built a chromium-based browser called uBlock Browser to keep uBlock Origin running without Manifest V3 restrictions. It’s lightweight and privacy-friendly. We’d love to hear your feedback!
