Arch Linux

Summary and Info:

I am confused about how to use this package: extra/ublock-origin 1.53.0-1 with this package: extra/chromium 119.0.6045.123-1

`pacman -Qi ublock-origin` shows:

"Provides : chromium-ublock-origin"

suggesting that the official package provided by archlinux pacman repository is especially tailored for working with chromium/chromium-based browsers.

However, in a fresh/new chromium web browser instance, no signs of recognizing or detecting ublock-origin exist. I have to install the extension within the web browser environment for it to be detected, but in doing so, that seems to suggest that the archlinux pacman package for ublock-origin is useless/unnecessary/not even redundant, but just consuming unnecessary space not providing any functionality that otherwise seems expected to just work.

I stumbled upon https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=272739 from 2 years ago mentioning

> "ublock-origin is for chrome/chromium based browsers (which includes many more than just chrome, e.g. opera or brave or vivaldi...)"

But ublock-origin does not seem to work with chromium

Steps to Reproduce:

1: pacman -S chromium ublock-origin

2: run `chromium` and see that ublock-origin extension is not detected
