Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
@ku It doesn't have any impact on Vanadium. It uses the built-in filtering engine and doesn't support extensions. We plan to upgrade the built-in filtering engine to support what we want to provide, similar to Brave. Any other features will also be implemented ourselves rather than by having people run third party code with access to their data. Extensions don't follow the standard site isolation model so they're always a downgrade in that regard for privacy and security.
Seems that to this day a package for #chromium is still not built for the raspberrypi in 14-RELEASE. Without it, Office365 isn't 100% usable in it, and I'm forced to choose Debian at work despite the huge performance gap.
The search for a slim, fast and modern browser might have come to an end. Ungoogled-chromium feels just like what I want. Even better than Vivaldi. But the setup process is a bit more nerdy.
Chromium update fixes 5th zero-day exploit for 2024
In Google's release notes for the latest Chromium 124.0.6367.201 source code it is mentioned that this release fixes a zero-day vulnerability. Beware: this is already the 5th zero-day which was reported and fixed in Chromium in 2024.
This vulnerability is already actively exploited in the wi
Well, let's just say it's a small price to pay for the unclogging of the previous 200+ held back packages. Good thing we have https://snapshot.debian.org/ to "roll back" a little!
It's amazing to me that #chromium devs (who are literally nameless, as their new bug tracking system hides their names/email address) decided that wayland breakage is not any kind of high priority blocker for a stable release. https://crbug.com/329678163
[some context for that second pic; that comment was made by a chromium developer on March 25th; it was clearly never marked as a blocker, and three weeks later on Apr 16th chromium v124 was marked 'stable'.]
pd...@chromium.org #15 Mar 25, 2024 03:43PM +cc ui/base/wayland owners. Should this be marked as a release blocker?
I paid for a subscription. And they are now effectively blocking #Firefox, at least on #Linux. Every fetch requires me to "verify I'm a human" so none of the images or #javascript load. It works in #chromium (for now...?)
Assis sur sa position dominante Google Chrome n'évolue plus (ou pas dans le bon sens, voire la tentative de Manifest v3 pour les WebExtensions), alors que Firefox a progressivement regagné le terrain perdu et même consolidé de l'avance.
Ich nutze für einige Webseiten #Chromium. Eine Sache, die mir dort gefällt, ist der leichte Wechsel zwischen Profilen. Beim #Firefox muss das immer über den Aufruf firefox -P und Auswahl des Profils passieren. Nutzt ihr Profile im Firefox? Wie wechselt ihr zwischen den Profilen?
I think it’s a bit weird to be drawing comparisons between #Safari and #InternetExplorer. Safari doesn’t and likely will never have the web browser market share and thus complete dominance that IE had. Its market share is tiny in comparison. A better comparison would be the #Chrome browser and the engine itself built on (yes it’s important to include the engine too) and you’ll see that Google’s dominance is more far reaching than Safari on iOS and is probably on the same level as IE back in the day at this point.
The “browser choice” warriors love to focus on iOS and ignore the bigger issue of the dominance of the #Chromium engine in the wider web browser market. All it’s doing is handing the keys of the web over to Google.
@paulthenerd@diazona that’s the big one for me. Safari is literally the only reason “web” doesn’t mean whatever Google wants. I support browser choice but it’ll be counterproductive unless it’s paired with a ban on cross promotion and a legal requirement that companies which make browsers have good support for competing browsers.
Needing to switch from #firefox to #chromium once everybody's dinner orders were already in the cart because of browser compatibility issues is . . . well, it's irritating.
Attention #Debian Sid users: latest #chromium package (v. 123.0.6312.58-1) update is broken. Lots of pages crashing, some load fine for a minute or so, then freeze. Impossible to work on O365 on it. Holding on to your current version is highly advised (until at least this passes!)
@jason123santa indeed! But these hiccups are pretty rare, especially in Debian (instead of, for example, Devuan). Maybe if I was deploying a corporate office I'd do so, too, but Unstable works fine here!
