It's a little bit scary how Chromium has a near monopoly in the browser space (does anyone still use Firefox?). My understanding it that removing Manifest V2 will affect Brave, too.
Google Chrome 150 marks the end of full support for Manifest V2 extensions, effectively removing the remaining workarounds that allowed the original uBlock Origin to continue functioning in Chrome.
Starting with Chrome 150 (expected in late June 2026), Google will complete its transition from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. This means the powerful webRequestBlocking API used by advanced extensions will no longer be available for normal Chrome extensions.
As a result, the original uBlock Origin will no longer work at full strength in Chrome. It relies on Manifest V2’s ability to inspect and block requests in real time.
Under Manifest V3, extensions must use declarativeNetRequest, which requires them to rely on predefined filtering rules instead of dynamic blocking. This improves security and performance according to Google, but it also limits what ad blockers can do, especially against complex ads and trackers on sites like YouTube.
The developer of uBlock Origin offers uBlock Origin Lite, a Manifest V3 version that still provides ad blocking but with the restrictions imposed by Chrome. Other ad blockers have also released Manifest V3 versions with similar limitations.
Users who want the full power of the original uBlock Origin can switch to Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions, or use Brave, which includes built-in ad and tracker blocking.
Google has been gradually rolling out this change since 2024, and Chrome 150 marks the final step in that transition.

If the administration believes the prosecution was wrong, every day this case continues is another day too long.
Another LEGO scandal update! 🚨
Due to a Utah Judge granting Bricks & Minifigs a Temporary Restraining Order against Reckless Ben & Bryan Mansell, their $400k Gofundme has been TAKEN down.
Unclear if it will come back up but I'd bet BAM will go after the funds in their lawsuit.
Hello all,
On Friday I got news that I am to be transferred to a new institution. I will no longer be an inmate at FPC Morgantown. I am a little disappointed because this is a nice place (for a prison) and my wife can visit easily. For security reasons they do not tell you where you are going but I am hopeful that it won't be too far from home. I was told to be ready to "pack out" on Monday or Tuesday - it is very likely I will be leaving on Wednesday - so I spent the weekend getting ready to leave. It is amazing how much stuff you accrue in such a short period of time, it has been nearly 6 months since I arrived here. I expect they will call me down to "R&D" (receiving and discharge) where they will inspect my belongings to make sure there is no contraband and I am not taking anything unauthorized and pack them away in a box or two that they will ship to my new institution.
As for "shipping" me, it is very likely that I will be flown out to the central transit prison hub in Oklahoma before I am then flown onward to wherever they are putting me. Yes, Con-air is a real thing. Needless to say going through transit (Oklahoma) is a real nightmare. You can be stuck there from 1 day to several weeks, you're around all kinds of prisoners of all different security levels. No one looks forward to Oklahoma - myself included. There is the slightest possibility of avoiding the transit nightmare. On Friday after I got word I submitted a formal request (a "cop out" in BOP lingo) to the CMC (case manager coordinator) here at the institution. I requested that they allow me to perform what is called a 'transfer furlough' which means instead of the BOP spending upwards of $10,000 to fly me across the country several times my wife can come pick me up and drop me off at my new location at my own cost. Transfer furloughs are rare of course, but the CMC didn't reject it outright, he promised to take it up the chain of command and let me know. So while I am not expecting it, there is the slightest glimmer of possibility that they allow it. Considering that I have had no incident reports, that i self surrendered, that I had no issue on pre-trial supervision for nearly 2 years, etc, all makes a compelling case that I can be trusted to self transfer. So here is to hoping for the best.
I will let you know where I will be once I know where I will be.
All the best,
Keonne
I tried to get into Nostr, but something about it gave me depression.
Also the only DM I received on there was some guy BEGGING me to turn off the cameras and infrared sensors in his house. He denied he had schizophrenia, but I urged him to keep an open mind.
