Cart is empty Google is trying to crack down on the use of ad blockers, but for now, here’s how to get uBlock Origin working on Chrome.
Close Chrome, then open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.
Paste the following command:
If you pasted it correctly, it will show up like this.
Close the CMD window and go to this website https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
On the right side of the page, you will find a text called “RELEASES”, click on it.
The latest release for ublock is https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.67.0.Scroll down on the page and click on “CHROMIUM.zip”
It will download the latest release of uBlock as a ZIP file.
Locate the downloaded ZIP file and extract its contents.
Right-clicking the ZIP file and selecting WinRAR → Extract to… will create a folder containing all the files from the archive, as shown here.
Once you’re done with that, open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
On the top left, you will see “Load unpacked.” Click it.
File Explorer will open, and you’ll need to locate the folder you extracted from the ZIP file.
In our case, it’s in the Downloads folder.
Locate the folder, click on it ONCE and then click on “SELECT FOLDER” on the bottom right.
You will be able to see Ublock origin listed on the extensions tab.
Now you need to close Chrome and create a shortcut with a specific parameter added to the Target field. Follow these steps:
Click on the Windows search bar and type “Chrome.”
Right-click on Google Chrome and select “Open file location.”
It will take you to a directory where you will see many windows shortcuts.
Locate Chrome’s shortcut and click on properties.
You will see something like this.
Now you need to focus on the Target path.
Copy the following:
–disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled
After copying it, click inside the Target field in Chrome’s properties. Move your cursor all the way to the end of the line, press SPACE once, and then press CTRL + V to paste what you copied above.
Assuming you installed Chrome without changing any default settings, your updated Target path should look like this:
“C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled
Remember: you must always launch Chrome from this shortcut so that these settings are applied.
You can move the shortcut to your desktop by simply dragging it from the folder to your desktop with your mouse.
Now launch Chrome using that shortcut and go to chrome://extensions.
You should see uBlock listed there,just toggle it on.
That was it!
