uBlock Origin will soon no longer work on Google Chrome, a hack creates panic in French high schools, young people are increasingly abandoning Netflix… welcome to yesterday’s recap!
Things are changing on the Internet. A still very popular ad blocker will become obsolete on Google Chrome. Teaching platforms are now the nest of jokes in very bad taste. And while Netflix once reigned supreme, the new generation seems to be shunning it more and more.
Chrome will crack down on this very popular ad blocker
While browsers are increasingly waging war on ad blockers, uBlock Origin has so far managed to cope. But that will change with the next Chrome update, which will upgrade the browser to Manifest v3. Abandoning the API that allowed the very popular adblock to work. No more choice if you still want to use it: you will have to go to the competition.

High school student’s hack leads to terrorist threat
This is unfortunately an increasingly frequent phenomenon. This Wednesday, March 20, a high school student from Île-de-France had his ENT account hacked. In the process, students from several high schools in the region received a message promising to blow up their establishment, accompanied by a video of beheading. A threat which fortunately was not carried out.

A figure which is not insignificant. In fact, the same study shows that Generation Z is three times more receptive to advertisements on social networks than their elders.
