If you have uBlock Origin, you might notice Chrome automatically disabling the extension.
Google Chrome has begun to phase out uBlock Origin. The developer of the free ad blocker, Raymond Hill, recently reposted a screenshot that shows Chrome automatically turning off uBlock Origin because it is “no longer supported.”
The change comes as Google Chrome migrates to Manifest V3, a new extension specification that could impact the effectiveness of some ad blockers. uBlock Origin has launched uBlock Origin Lite, which uses Manifest V3, in response to the transition. However, you have to manually install the extension because it’s “too different from uBO to be an automatic replacement,” according to a FAQ Hill that posted to GitHub.

Chromecast was killed I didn’t notice lol
Mine still works, i wonder if it’s just discontinued and no more support for it.
The basic Chromecast was discontinued, and the Chromecast functionality was rolled into Google TV. Existing Chromecasts should keep working, hope they don’t have any major security bugs though, because I doubt those are getting patched
My three haven’t gotten the memo, I guess.
It was? I’m pretty sure I just used mine not too long ago and it worked fine.
They’re moving to the Google TV streamer, which isn’t just a dongle behind the TV anymore.
Yeah according to this site
