"textContent": "Is there evidence that enabling the workarounds to keep MV2 extensions alive in Chromium actually present a security risk or is that speculation?\n\nI wouldn’t recommend people willy-nilly installing MV2 extensions left and right, but enabling the shortcut “hack” to keep uBO available seems pretty low risk.\n\nIs it something “Grandma Smith” should do? No, stick with uBOL, but it seems slightly fear mongering with no evidence to imply that keeping it enabled also opens one up to significant security risks. Especially when the people enabling the existing “hacks” to keep uBO active are likely more advanced users anyway that might be less likely to fall for the security pitfalls a casual user might go into.",
