-
1. Enable Legacy Extension Support Open Chrome and go to: chrome://flags In the search bar at the top of that page, type: Allow legacy extension manifest versions When it appears, set it to Enabled. Click the Relaunch button in the bottom right to restart Chrome. 2. Download uBlock Origin (Safe & Official Source) Go to the GitHub release page: ๐ https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases Find the latest version at the top. Under Assets, download: uBlock0.chromium.zip 3. Extract the ZIP File On Windows: Right-click the file and choose "Extract All" On macOS: Double-click the zip to extract it This will create a folder with all the uBlock extension files inside. 4. Load the Extension Manually in Chrome Open Chrome and go to: chrome://extensions Toggle Developer Mode ON (top-right corner). Click the "Load unpacked" button (top-left). In the file picker window, select the folder you just extracted from the zip file (not the zip itself).
I had to delete the old ublock origin extension, and load the downloaded version, the flag didn't work in place.

I reckon you know about this already, but I've seen a lot of posts on the fediverse about using uBlock Origin with Noscript because uMatrix stopped being supported. It seems that some haven't realized that uMatrix's functionality is in uBlock Origin!
