Google Will Disable Classic Extensions in Chrome in the Coming Months
Google has published an update on the deprecation timeline of so-called Manifest V2 extensions in the Chrome web browser. Starting this June, Chrome will inform users with classic extensions about the deprecation. From a report: Manifests are rulesets for extensions. They define the capabilities of extensions. When Google published the initial Manifest V3 draft, it was criticized heavily for it. This initial draft had significant impact on content blockers, privacy extensions, and many other extension types. Many called it the end of adblockers in Chrome because of that. In the years that followed, Google postponed the introduction and updated the draft several times to address some of these concerns.
Despite all the changes, Manifest V3 is still limiting certain capabilities. The developer of uBlock Origin listed some of these on GitHub. According to the information, current uBlock Origin capabilities such as dynamic filtering, certain per-site switches, or regex-based filters are not supported by Manifest V3. The release of uBlock Origin Minus highlights this. It is a Manifest V3 extension, but limited in comparison to the Manifest V2-based uBlock Origin.

MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPad Pro From GRID Studio
For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an iPad Pro. For those unfamiliar with GRID Studio, it is a small company that crafts art out of old, discarded Apple products.
GRID Studio buys and recycles old electronics, taking them apart and arranging each component carefully under a glass frame. Their work turns a hodgepodge of parts into display pieces designed for Apple enthusiasts who want to own a piece of Apple’s history.
The $400 GRID 1 is perhaps GRID Studio’s most iconic offering, featuring the original Apple iPhone from 2007. The GRID 1 includes all of the components of the first iPhone, complete with labeling and interesting facts like all of GRID’s pieces. The original iPhone’s unmistakable housing is displayed next to the button, headphone socket, speaker, logic board, ear piece, and other components, and it’s particularly interesting because it was before the days when Apple started making its own chips.
The GRID 4S is an affordable way to get a piece of GRID Studio’s art, as it’s on sale for $99 this week. The GRID 4S was the final iPhone that was introduced while Steve Jobs was still alive, and the first iPhone Tim Cook launched without Jobs. The “S” stood for Siri, and it was the first iPhone that included the Siri personal assistant.
For Mac fans, the $600 GRID MacBook Air showcases the first-generation MacBook Air that Apple released, and it is one of GRID Studio’s larger pieces at 30 inches by 18.5 inches. At the time, the 2008 MacBook Air was marketed world’s thinnest notebook computer, and it is definitely one of Apple’s most well-known later-stage Macs.
The GRID MacBook Air has the machine’s display at the top, followed by all of the interior components, and then the keyboard and trackpad combo. The hard drive, fan, network card, and MagSafe components are all neatly displayed, and it’s a fun look at some vintage components that Apple has long since abandoned.
We have an 11-inch iPad Pro for one MacRumors reader. To enter to win, use the widget below and enter an email address. Email addresses will be used solely for contact purposes to reach the winner(s) and send the prize(s). You can earn additional entries by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, subscribing to our YouTube channel, following us on Twitter, following us on Instagram, following us on Threads, or visiting the MacRumors Facebook page.
Due to the complexities of international laws regarding giveaways, only U.S. residents who are 18 years or older, UK residents who are 18 years or older, and Canadian residents (excluding Quebec) who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory are eligible to enter. All federal, state, provincial, and/or local taxes, fees, and surcharges are the sole responsibility of the prize winner.

‘Animal Well’ Demonstrates What Gaming Stands to Lose Amid Indie Studio Closures
Shared Memory’s pixelated game Animal Well relies on players joining online communities to solve its puzzles. It’s also an indie gem that’s becoming all too rare as studios close.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is $85 off right now
If you’re on the hunt for an Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal, now is a good time to take the plunge — and not only because the wearable can be used as a dive watch. The device has dropped by $85 to $714 at Amazon. That’s a discount of 11 percent, fact fans. The deal only applies to one certain variant, which has a titanium case and green/grey Trail Loop band, and only in a small/medium size (the larger option is $740). Still, that’s a record low price for this particular option.
This is our pick for the best Apple Watch for adventurers. As noted, the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2 can be used in the water, where it measures the temperature, dive duration and gauge up to 40 meters of depth. On terra firma, dual-frequency GPS support means that you should see more accurate pace calculations and route tracking than with other Apple wearables. When you’re out in the wild, you can set waypoints in the Compass app to help you find your way back to your starting point, while an onboard siren could help others find you if you need help.
Meanwhile, you can set up the action button to carry out more or less any function you want when you push it. The battery should run for around 36 hours before it needs to be recharged and the low-power mode can help extend that timeframe. As with the Apple Watch Series 9, the S9 SiP (system in package) supports on-device Siri processing and the double tap function for hands-free use.
