GOOGLE CHROME IS SWITCHING TO MANIFEST V3, BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR AD BLOCKERS?

While Manifest V3 makes things harder for ad blockers, it's not the death of ad blockers by any stretch. uBlock Origin already has a new version built on Manifest V3 that works almost as well as the Manifest V2 version and with added privacy and performance benefits.

There are tools in Chrome's Extensions settings that help users determine whether an extension is compatible with Manifest V3 and find alternatives for incompatible extensions.

FTC FINALIZES RULE THAT MAKES CANCELING SUBSCRIPTIONS EASIER

The FTC has finalized a rule that makes canceling subscriptions and services as easy as signing up for one.

Most of the final rule's provisions will go into effect 180 days after it is published in the Federal Register.
