Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

Just like they keep insisting we disable adblockers to view them. Both are easy to circumvent, but mostly my reaction is to just close the tab and look for the content elsewhere.

Google has already talked about a plan to cryptographically authenticate a browser. We likely won’t be able to get around that.

Creators really need to release torrents of their libraries of content so that we can access it without having to go through platforms. Maybe release them twice a year? Four times a year? Imagine just pulling up a creator's torrent, clicking which videos you want to download to watch, then waiting a few minutes and playing it right off of your computer. I bet that could also work with peertube?
