Opera will always help you block ads natively

pilis00 last edited by pilis00It's been already 6 months so, Opera did finally decide what they'll do with MV2 extensions? They still have the words "plan", "should" in that article.

I really hope they didn't change their position, I switched to Opera mainly because of uBO.

A bit off-topic but Mozilla posted an article one month ago in which they again confirm they'll keep MV2 addons:

It is for this reason that if Opera changes its mind about the continual support of MV2 (or at least the most popular MV2 extensions such as uBO) and dumps it, I will be moving to Firefox. We don't have much longer to go to find out how Opera will truly handle things when Chromium ends MV2 completely after June 2025.

@lancealot I really wish they will keep MV2 addons too, otherwise I'll have to move to Firefox as well. I moved from Chrome to Opera mainly after I saw that article.
Hopefully an Opera developer who is on this forum care reassure us once again, on this topic, that uBO remains on Opera.

@leocg I'm interpreting it differently:
Sounds very much like a promise, doesn't it? Not that I'm dependent on that, as I'm using the built in ad blocker - which is hit and miss.
Maybe at the end of the day it's simply their way to promote this native blocker anyway.

It seems that now I get this message when I try installing the addon in Opera too:

Isn't it still possible in Opera's own addon store? I think the announcement based on the fact, that they're still maintaining an independent own which gives them options to collaborate with deverlopers.
