If you have uBlock Origin, you might notice Chrome automatically disabling the extension.

Google Chrome has begun to phase out uBlock Origin. The developer of the free ad blocker, Raymond Hill, recently reposted a screenshot that shows Chrome automatically turning off uBlock Origin because it is “no longer supported.”

The change comes as Google Chrome migrates to Manifest V3, a new extension specification that could impact the effectiveness of some ad blockers. uBlock Origin has launched uBlock Origin Lite, which uses Manifest V3, in response to the transition. However, you have to manually install the extension because it’s “too different from uBO to be an automatic replacement,” according to a FAQ Hill that posted to GitHub.

In this garbage article: ZERO MENTIONS to any alternative.

From the article's second paragraph:

uBlock Origin has launched uBlock Origin Lite, which uses Manifest V3, in response to the transition.

I meant browsers. Chrome ain't the only browser in town.

Chrome is just a name. It runs on Chromium which is a Google product and open source. Many browser alternatives out there use Chromium under the hood. The point I’m making is that it’s going to be tough to find something not Chromium based that will have all of the features and compatibility that you expect, which makes it tough to recommend other browsers. Firefox and Safari are two that are their own thing, and generally supported, so there’s a start.

yes, there are various other browsers still supporting proper ad blocking

Oh, I thought we were talking about extensions.

Google destroyed that capability for extensions, so you have to use another browser.

I understand that. But I don't think OP was asking about browsers. Maybe I'm wrong.
