This is the list, for those who don't want to read it. I don't see Adguard Adblocker on there, surprisingly or SponsorBlock. Besides UBlock Origin, which is a staple extension of mine for all browsers and we've long knew about Google's approach to that. I haven't seen a lot of what I use/used on here. I don't even know most of these.

I don't know if it's related, but an extension we use at work called Redirector was just disabled a few weeks ago for being "unsupported." It's the only reason I even used Chrome, so I guess I can go back to Safari. At home I only use Firefox.

If you’re talking about the extension that looks like an R with a green arrow, the author passed away a couple years ago. https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector/issues/329

The repo has a new maintainer but there’s been no new releases since the maintainer doesn’t have access to the extension release pages. No surprise that a MV3 version hasn’t been worked on.

It still works on Firefox, though.

Hey, thanks! I don't know if I can use Firefox at work. I'll have to see. Could be a good time to push Firefox there.

Hopefully the new maintainer can get releases going again. It’s a great extension!
