    Honest question here, since chromium (vs chrome) is open source, can someone not fork an older version, or remove the new code blocking ublock?

    I mean i assume it cant be done, but i dont know why

      It can be done, but then whoever forks that will need to stay on top of keeping that fork up to date with other changes in the original chromium, and that gets harder and harder to do as time goes on and more changes are made to the same or related parts of the codebase.
