General discussion • YouTube ads are not blocked on chromium-browser v125

A few hours ago, I received an update for Chromium from the default PiOS Bookworm 64-bit repositories. It was upgraded from 124.0.6367.73-rpt1 to 125.0.6422.133-rpt1, then I restarted the browser.
For whatever reason, this seems to have broken uBlock Origin's ability to block youtube ads.

What I tried:
  • Enabling Developer Mode in chrome://extensions. The TamperMonkey extension recommended to do this to re-enable Manifest v2, which is being phased out. I already had Developer Mode enabled, and it did not make a difference.
  • Reverting to Chromium v124. This is easy to do with my script. While this solved the youtube ad issue, something about using my chromium v125 config with chromium v124 signed me out of all websites. This would be very annoying, but fortunately the chromium downgrade script took a backup of the config folder so that everything should return to normal once I return to using v125.
Would someone familiar with chromium's changelog be able to comment if uBlock needs Manifest v2 to block youtube ads, or if Chromium v125 and onwards completely have dropped support for Manifest v2? Maybe something else entirely is going on.
I cannot be the only one experiencing this. Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I have not seen anyone else discussing it yet.
