Google TV Streamer Price Jumps $50, Chrome Blocks Extensions, GPS Glitches Across US

Google has increased the price of its 4K streaming box by $50, now retailing at $149, a significant jump from its original $99. This price adjustment is currently reflected on the Google Store and Best Buy, though Amazon may still offer the older price. The move comes shortly after Google's latest product launches.

In other tech news, Google has begun removing Manifest V2 extensions from the Chrome Web Store, a move that has impacted popular tools like uBlock Origin. Meanwhile, a widespread GPS glitch has been reported across the United States, causing deviations of up to 33 feet, a phenomenon scientists have not previously observed. Separately, a user reported losing access to their PlayStation 3 account and digital games due to prolonged inactivity, highlighting potential issues with digital ownership and account management.
