So, in short:

Google is not killing ad blockers, but merely chopping off both legs and arms in the name of security.
ublock Origin is implementing a lite version for chromium browsers, supposedly being pretty decent given the circumstances.
Old Manifest V2 extensions will be disabled in June 2024 and Manifest V2 will be removed in June 2025.
