EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO -- you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

They should update the Chrome extension to tell people to download Firefox instead

I have a Chromebook, what do I need to do to get ubo? From my understanding, Firefox is not supported in the browser so I'd need to get Linux? How does security work with Linux?

Firewalled for limiting untrustworthy connections to the computer(public networks, hotels, even work).

apparmor for protecting the kernel and controlling file access to applications. SELinux is also a good option but if you need to load kernel modules, it can take a few minutes to sign and register it. It is automated on redhat systems though.

Other than that, do your research and don't run random scripts and install random apps.
