Still works on Chrome 150, but it is the last supported version. Chrome 151 is being released on July 28.

You can't install anything without an Apple account. Just tried installing altstore.io to repeat my previous unsuccessful attempt.

Only users based in Brazil, Japan, or the European Union are able to install apps through alternative app distribution. The country or region of your *Apple Account* must be set to one of those countries or regions, and you must physically be located there. [0]

UPDATE: Also tried to install onside.io. No luck. The same popup:

Cannot Install App: You are not eligible to install apps from "onside.io".

Hold on a second... didn't you literally hand over a verified phone number when you signed up? Please tell me you used a burner SIM for that!

It is a "kill switch" - uBlock Origin will no longer work in Chrome 151 (July 28, 2026).

Surprisingly full uBO still works on Chrome 146 if launched with the argument

    --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported

I found this confusing as well. She probably meant to "Forget" the device when the Bluetooth pairing with the headphones is lost.

Hehe. Bought TP LINK TL-WR1043ND (one of the first models of affordable home routers with integrated gigabit switch) in 2012 for $40 (maybe $50, but not more), flashed OpenWrt and still using to this day.

For mostly static content like screencasts by dropping duplicate frames and producing variable framerate h.264 yuv444 videos with lossless encoding I was getting <100 kbps files for 1024x768 resolution more than a decade ago.

Someone has hijacked the name "uBlock Origin" (for an extension) in the Chrome Web Store. When you search for "uBlock Origin", you’re shown a fake extension (1,000 users) with a "Featured" badge instead of the real one (17,000,000 users) at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal...

Even with fair usage policy violations (like long term roaming) the prices are still quite reasonable: 1.30 EUR/GiB (+VAT); from next year 1.10 EUR/GiB (+VAT).

Trending page[0] is gone for non logged-in users as of couple months now. (No idea if it's still up for logged-in users) As a result my YouTube consumption went down (not complaining).

With 138, I reconfigured Chrome to force Manifest v2 to continue working.

How did you forced?

قبل 12 شهرًاdiscuss

It's not working for me anymore, after upgrade to 139.

chrome://policy/ shows policy status error:

  Policy name                        Policy value    Source      Applies to    Level        Status

  ExtensionManifestV2Availability    2               Platform    Machine       Mandatory    Error
                            Value    2
                            Error    Unknown policy.

Update: Add these options to the chrome executable to make it work again:

  --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions,UnexpireFlagsM136,UnexpireFlagsM137 --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported

Actually, these are enough:

  --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported

Mozilla sells user data to third parties. Their statement:

The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because, in some places, the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is broad and evolving. As an example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

Firefox Focus is available on App Store. You don't have to use it (I don't), but set it as a content blocker in Safari settings.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safari-integration-fire...

The only other extension I’ve started using recently, when the quantity/frequency of YouTube ads on Safari became unbearable, is 1Blocker. It includes a specific filter for blocking YouTube ads, and you can use one active filter for free without subscription.

I purposefully avoid demonstrating any of the tools (with a suffix that rhymes with "car") that are popularly used to circumvent purchasing movie, TV, and other media content, or any tools that automatically slurp up YouTube content.

Can't figure out what tool Jeff is writing about.
