Huge thanks to colinhacks/zod for Zod! 🔥 A few weeks back, I submitted a detailed PR for a new .upgrade method (docs + ✅ tests included). If you have a moment, would appreciate your thoughts — it could be an exciting addition (v4?)! 🚀 PR: github.com/colinhacks/zod… #Zod #opensource

Chrome and chromium based browsers (Edge, Brave, etc) will stop supporting MV2 - basically taking efficient ad-block away from users - only Firefox & uBlock Origin are the last bastions against Google's opening of the ad storm.
