Why Was My UltimaHora.com Widget Chrome Extension Turned Off?

Learn why your UltimaHora.com Widget Chrome extension was disabled by Chrome, what it means for you, and how to find an alternative.

If you’re here, you’ve probably noticed that your uBlock Origin extension was disabled or seen a banner in the Chrome Web Store saying it was turned off, with Chrome recommending its removal:

Screenshot from UltimaHora.com Widget Chrome Web Store entry saying 'This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.'

This decision came after multiple warnings over the past few months. Chrome gave extensions plenty of time to switch to the new V3 Manifest standard, designed to improve security and privacy.

Now, Google took action for the first time. This includes disabling the UltimaHora.com Widget extension as it is outdated for months now. Next to the UltimaHora.com Widget extension, many other extensions have been disabled-you can find a list of all affected extensions here.

This isn’t the final step yet—users can still enable the UltimaHora.com Widget extension manually. But it’s only a matter of time before Chrome removes them from the Web Store for good.

Why is this happening?

Google is updating their browser extension store to improve security and performance. They're moving from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3, which is like upgrading from an old operating system to a new one for extensions.

"To better protect your privacy and security, Chrome and the Chrome Web Store require extensions to be up-to-date with new requirements. With this, Chrome may disable extensions that don't meet these requirements." - Chrome Web Store Help

Google started informing extension developers and companies years ago that they should update their extensions to Manifest V3. This deadline is now coming to an end and extensions using the old V2 manifest will be removed.

The UltimaHora.com Widget extension is still using the older Manifest V2, which is deprecated for years and will soon be phased out. This change affects many popular extensions, not just UltimaHora.com Widget.

What does this mean for you?

  • Your UltimaHora.com Widget extension was disabled by Chrome.
  • You can still enable the extension.
  • The UltimaHora.com Widget extension will be removed from the Chrome Web Store soon.

  • You can reach out to the extension developer and ask whether an update to Manifest V3 is planned.
  • If the developers update UltimaHora.com Widget to Manifest V3, you'll need to update your extension when it becomes available.
