The headline is correct. The popular ones like uBO are 100% dead on Chrome thanks to googles coercion.

They didn't just "switch". They had to fundamentally change how they block ads and the new version the adtech company forced upon everyone...drumroll...is less effective at blocking ads. What a coincidence!

Per uBlock:

>uBOL will be less effective at dealing with websites using anti-content blocker or minimizing website breakage because many filters can't be converted into DNR rules

uBlock Origin Light is still pretty good though. Maybe it's good enough for most people?
