How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

google's manifest v3 has no analouge to the webRequestBlocking API, which is neccesary for (effective) adblockers to work
starting in chrome version 127, the transition to mv3 will start cutting off the use of mv2 extensions alltogether
this will inevitably piss of enterprises when their extensions don't work, so the ExtensionManifestV2Availability key was added and will presumably stay forever after enterprises complain enough

You can use this as a regular user, which will let you keep your mv2 extensions even after they're supposed to stop working

Linux

In a terminal, run:

PostgreSQL is Enough

Fix cursor size in nixos/linux

Set your XCURSOR_SIZE to 32 (or desired size) in either your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

or ~/.Xresources:

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.
