A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Please consider helping a friend by helping them migrate off of Chrome and towards something like:

Google's beginning to roll out the deprecation of Manifest V2 extensions which includes ad blockers. Extensions are still manually installable but the process is no longer accessible for non-power users.

In addition to the continued enshitification of Chrome it seems that Google is also kneecapping people's privacy and security:
