The people you described as "today men" existed back then, too. We just didn't hear about it, because it was acceptable and the status quo.
It was much more normal and acceptable to be homophobic back then. You hear about it more nowadays, because times have changed and homophobia is actually being seen for the disgusting trait that it is. The majority of people actually call it out nowadays, but they didn't back then.
Works for now...
They have stated they will be slowly removing v2 extensions for users instead of removing them all at once. So, they just haven't gotten to you yet. You will have to switch to use ublock lite, and it's not as good.
Even if it does work for now, idk why you would want to support the company trying to get rid of necessary extensions and remove any sense of ownership of your own browser, like Google is doing.
Just switch to FireFox and get it over with already.
