Browser, Ad Blocker & Extension Change Watch

Track web browsers and extensions for US users. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: feature launches, removals and setting changes in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera and DuckDuckGo; extension platform and Manifest changes that break or limit ad blockers, privacy tools and password managers; changes, removals and store delistings for uBlock Origin, uBlock Origin Lite, AdGuard, Privacy Badger, Ghostery, 1Password, Bitwarden, Honey and the 100 most installed extensions; Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons malware, takeover and policy incidents with the extensions named; cookie, tracking, fingerprinting and private browsing protection changes; AI, summarization and page-content features with data settings and opt-out steps; end-of-support for older operating systems; default search and homepage deals; and outages over two hours. Prefer vendor release notes and blogs, extension developer announcements, security researchers with published findings and established tech reporting; ignore speculation. Put the browser or extension first in the title and state what a user should switch or change. Use high severity for an extension turned malicious with more than a million installs, a platform change disabling a top ad blocker, or an actively exploited browser flaw. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
