Privacy matters! But what if the tools meant to protect us are being misused? Our latest study (to appear ARES '24) reveals surprising facts about HTTP Client Hints (HTTP CHs) on the Web. [THREAD]
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.
Welcher Internet Browser ist "sicherer"?
Gute Frage und nicht simpel zu beantworten, doch nach meiner Auffassung ist es Firefox und weniger der sehr beliebte Chrome Browser.
So viel ich weiss, gibt es den Firefox länger und hat doch (knapp) weniger bekannte, so wie meistens behobene Schwachpunkte. Weshalb glauben so viele lehre Versprechungen von Konzerne?
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
You cannot visit a #LinkedIn page from a #Chrome browser without LinkedIn creating an account based on the #Google account info that you're logged in with on that Chrome browser, even if you cancel the account creation process that LinkedIn automatically starts.
Because you didn't actually create that account, you cannot delete it. You have to complete the signup process just so you can then proceed to delete it.
Does no one at #microsoft challenge this kind of implementation?
I'm living confusing world, I want to use #Firefox for most things, but there is still a few profiles I need the #Chrome for.
Now the big problem is how do I associate the default browser? I'm thinking of making my own CLI application as the default browser, it would then open certain links in Chrome and the rest in Firefox.
Inzwischen geht via #google#chrome browser ganz offiziell auch #nvidia#geforcenow, der Streaming-Dienst, bei dem man sich potente Grafik-Hardware monatlich anmieten kann.
Großartig wäre, wenn für das Deck eine offizielle App käme ...
I'm trying to figure out the best browser combination for my needs. Generally, Firefox covers almost everything I need, but it's slow on Android and drains a lot of battery. I've tried Vivaldi, Chrome, and Brave. Of these, only Brave has the features I need, like full history sync (not just typed URLs), and the ability to send tabs to other devices. However, with its focus on crypto and AI, it seems too hype-driven for me. Also, none of them work on FreeBSD without using a Linux jail.
I don't like that #Firefox has "Developer Edition" it only increases the bar for people to experiment.
For me, browsers have been the last bastion of hackability in the modern app ecosystem. I understand why Google #Chrome and Apple #Safari don't want people to make all kinds of extensions.
Firefox is the underdog at the moment, they should:
Aim to make the out-of-the-box experience familiar,
Be customizable so people can build wild ideas like Arc Browser is doing as an extension.
#Chrome friends,
I moved to a new Mac and found that Shift-Click in Chrome no longer worked. Turns out a fix is to turn off "Use Graphics Acceleration when available"!
But at what cost? I want graphics acceleration! I really need shift-click to work in text editing. What am I giving up?
And why in hell does graphics acceleration kill shift-click?
NB: Please don't tell me to not use Chrome. That's not my question.
@boo_@andros I didn’t foresee anyone turning Google’s #Chrome browser #JavaScript engine V8 (2008) into the server (#NodeJs, 2009) and desktop (#ElectronJs, 2013) runtimes that ate the world, but here we are.
And Electron was originally developed for #GitHub’s #Atom text editor (2008) before they were acquired by #Microsoft in 2018, subsequently discontinued in favor of #VSCode in 2022.
Don’t tell me what you can’t see happening if you don’t remember what already did
