I installed uBlock Origin (1.63.2) from the Chrome Web Store.

 

how? Add to Chrome is grayed out
I side loaded uBO (in Chrome) from here but, need to maintain Developer mode enabled

Edit: in Chrome

 

Hello @stapp
I cannot install uBlock Origin from Chrome store in Chrome.
I have uBO from Microsoft store and Chrome store installed in Edge.

I misread @Sampei Nihira #8730 post

 

For those who do not want to add the "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" policy there is this method proposed by u-RraaLL:

Hello @Sampei Nihira
uBlock Origin from Chrome store installed in Chrome
Regards w Respect

 

Those flags are no longer available.

 

I,in Edge, use the policy.
Try the corresponding Chromium Command Line Switch.
Do you know how to set it up?

I'd be curious if it works.....

 

Spoiler: those Chrome flags

 

GREAT.

 

If anyone wants to test if it works the Chromium Command Line Switch is this:

Code:

--enable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Availability

 

seriously?

anyhow edge supports this flag also until june'25. but is not that annoying like chrome.

 

You're right. I had misspelled when searching flags.

 

I switched Chrome and Edge to uBlock Origin Lite, and it's surprisingly good.
The only settings I changed were to switch the Default Filtering Mode from Basic to Complete and clicked More > More on the toolbar drop-down.

 

Hi,
it is good but up to a certain point and no further.
You can see the major differences here:

The comparison is with AG Adblocker but may also include uBlock Origin.

 

BTW, how to block the annoying floating videos on this website again? You should of course click on the video and scroll down to see it. The article is about Ajax Amsterdam, my favorite football club.

Interesting. The options offered by the element picker not only block the floating Picture-in-Picture mode, but the main video as well. I guess it must be possible to block the floating PiP and not the main video, but I cannot tell you how. Perhaps anyone else can tell how to do this.

 

PiP is a browser option, no option of ad blocker. firefox has such option. dont use firefox? ask your used browser support!

 

@Brummelchen,
At the webpage Rasheed linked, the floating video is mentioned as "Picture-in-Picture mode". It is something that website does, not Firefox. I don't have PiP enabled in Firefox.

 

PiP is a very defined feature. if firefox cant handle it, its web page made and off any PiP definings.

for the example:

.theo-player-wrapper

so this is a
webpage issue, gathered with the inspector which is available for any current browser.

from adguard (which is wrong)

i have no time to explain how to use ad blockers picker! this is users choice, so try to accomplish it!
