The Google Chrome team announced the deprecation plan for manifest V2. The transition was initially paused due to migration issues from manifest V2 to V3. In November 2023, the Chrome team released a new timeline [1]. All extensions should migrate to manifest V3 by June 2024. Coditude[2] is providing a free service to assist with the migration from manifest V2 to V3. Major browsers like Firefox and Edge are also transitioning to manifest V3. As of now, Safari has not announced any plans regarding manifest V3 but most likely they will follow.

kalehrishi··on InboxSDK – Build apps inside Gmail
We[1] have been using inboxsdk to build integrations of products within gmail. Initially we had our own system to keep check of changes in gmail DOM structure and it was expensive to maintain such SDK. Streak has been doing great job of maintaining it. In 2017 gmail changed complete UI and inboxsdk seamlessly supported it with minor glitches. There are some tiny glitches on some days but those are fixed within few hours. Other open source option is gmail.js which is also a good alternative. However you have to write some automation test cases to keep check on breaking changes in gmail Dom

kalehrishi··on PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking
I don't think having tracking pixel in gmail is a big thing. Almost every modern messaging system such as whatsapp has read receipts. Since gmail has image proxy, it doesn't leak any information. And most modern email client doesn't open remote image unless allowed explicitly.

kalehrishi··on What I learned by living without artificial light
I use this https://justgetflux.com/ everywhere and helps lot to sleep even if you get exposed to screens. I am not sure about Kindle before sleep. It has some bright light however it is better than reading book in lamp light. Candles are good but should not be used for long as smoke starts to build up. I would like to know other views.

This is possible. We are doing it at https://www.mailtag.io. Shameless plug though.
kalehrishi··on Who Should a Startup Hire First?

kalehrishi··on Jq – A Command-line JSON processor
We are using jq to parse JSON output from various API in shell scripts. It served us well even for large JSON strings. If you want to write small scripts and parse some JSON in it then jq is best fit.

Mode X. Nostalgic. It was my school project to write graphics driver for Mode X for game developers.
