Brash: Chromium Browser DoS Attack via document.title Exploitation
Brash is a critical vulnerability in Blink, the rendering engine that powers Google's Chromium-based browsers. It allows any Chromium browser to collapse in 15-60 seconds by exploiting an architectural flaw in how certain DOM operations are managed.

Brash: Chromium Browser DoS Attack via document.title Exploitation
Brash is a PoC exposing a critical Chromium vulnerability that enables a browser DoS attack by exploiting the total absence of rate limiting on document.title updates.

A critical, currently unpatched bug in Chromium's Blink rendering engine can be abused to crash many Chromium-based browsers within seconds, causing a denial-of-service condition – and, in some tests, freezing the host system.

This security hole can crash billions of Chromium browsers, and Google hasn't patched it yet

Why chromium is considered an essential nutrient, despite having no proven health benefits
You might best know chromium as a bright, shiny metal used in bathroom and kitchen fittings. But is it also essential for your health?

Well, it now came to this: I have to install an add-on in #LibreWolf (#Firefox fork) as well on my almost naked #Chromium in order to get reliable session resume after browser restart:

My 'complaining' about KDE has led to an extra effort by the FreeBSD community to pull me in 🤣 Ungoogled Chromium is back in ports with the latest version 👍🏻

Well, Apple, making Safari 26.0.1 run like a dog’s breakfast on macOS Sequoia while also *not* providing a download for Safari 18.6¹ is definitely a choice.²
No way I’m breaking nearly half the apps I rely on daily by upgrading to Tahoe just to fix Safari so I guess I’ll be making Chromium my default (I use Orion a lot, especially since I pay for Kagi, but it has its issues like 1Password not working, etc.) And don’t get me started on Firefox³.
So, Apple, how about a little less …

Role of chromium oxides and carbides in strengthening CoCrFeNi multi-principle element alloys
Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) can potentially offer exceptional material properties, but their complex, costly manufacturing limits their scalability. Chemical complexity and complex manufacturing processes lead to the formation of some secondary phases, which have a significant impact on the final properties. In this work, chromium compound dispersoid enhancements (Cr- oxides and carbides) were formed in CoCrFeNi MPEAs to enhance their microstructural and high-temperature mechanical p…

There are frameworks like {golem} and {rhino} to make shiny development more robust, but I like the concept of {shinytest2} in providing a testing framework for pure shiny. https://rstudio.github.io/shinytest2/index.html

the team behind material for mkdocs have built a new static site generator
i open their webpage and it lags my entire pc with, i think, this background animation of "moving lines". taking a screenshot took several seconds and chromium stopped rendering the ui at one point
any idiot can make an efficient static site. it takes pure brilliance to make it inefficient (why does it need 1 GB of GPU memory?!)

I need a Chromium browser on android and looks like I have no other options but Cromite.
Brave: ❌ big no
Vivaldi: ❌ lacks a lot of privacy features, talks home a lot
I don't see any other options

Always has been.

Well this is disappointing.

Chromium-doped uranium dioxide fuels: A review
UO2 doped with parts per million Cr2O3 powder is considered a potential near term accident tolerant fuel candidate. Here, the results of decades of industry and academic research into Cr-doped UO2 are analyzed and their shortcomings are critiqued. Focusing on the incorporation mechanisms of Cr into the fuel matrix, we explore a mechanistic understanding of the characteristic properties of Cr-doped UO2, notably, enhanced fission gas retention attributed to enlarged grain sizes following sinterin…

Hello Fedi tech support desk, I wonder if you can help.
Next week I will need to join a Teams meeting from my Linux laptop.
How well does this work using the Teams web interface? Will I need to run Chrome or will Firefox or (at worst) Chromium do the job?
And do I need to sign in to Microsoft dot com first, or can I just rock up with the Teams call details and enter a name and things will just work?

In all (rightful) excitement over Helium, we forget how good Ungoogled Chromium actually is.

Another one of those days on which I spend an hour trying to get screen recording to work in OBS, and it just won't.
Screen sharing in Chromium just works...
So no live streams for the time being, sorry.

Nix-shell (for me, as a desktop user) is a powerful tool to, temporarily, enable software I wouldn't otherwise use. And that someone took the trouble to package filen-desktop as a nix package is amazing.
The Intel wifi drivers work ootb on FreeBSD 14.3, which makes it possible for me to install Ungoogled Chromium later on (as a pkg it is only available on stable releases) I got an error after compiling for 4 hrs on an i7 with 16gb, so there'…

Spin-phonon coupling and isotope-related pseudo-molecule vibrations in layered Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$ ferromagnet
The vibrational structure of chromium germanium telluride (Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$, CGT) is investigated and a strong spin-phonon coupling is revealed. The measured high-resolution Raman scattering (RS) spectra are composed of the 10 Raman-active modes: 5A$_\textrm{g}$ and 5E$_\textrm{g}$, predicted by calculation using the density functional theory and identified using polarization-resolved RS measurements. We also studied the effect of temperature on the RS spectra of CGT from 5~K to 300~K. A stro…

Stacking-Controlled Magnetic Exchange and Magnetoelectric Coupling in Bilayer CrI$_2$
We use a first-principles calculations approach to reveal the electronic and magnetic properties of chromium diiodide (CrI$_2$) bilayers and establish a hierarchy of magnetic interactions across stable registries. The monolayer presents a x-stripe antiferromagnetic ground state, while in bilayers the BA$^\prime$ stacking is the global minimum with antiparallel interlayer magnetic alignment. Bilayer configurations strengthen the exchange in the plane by 6 % to 10 %, while the exchange between la…

Magnetic order tuning of excitons in the magnetic semiconductor CrCl$_3$ through strain

Magnetic order tuning of excitons in the magnetic semiconductor CrCl$_3$ through strain
Magnon-exciton coupling provides an unprecedented opportunity for the optical tunability of spin information and, viceversa, for the magnetic control of the optical response. Few-layered magnets are an ideal platform for the experimental study of this coupling, in part due to the strong excitonic character of the optical response in (quasi-)two dimensions. Here, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the excitonic oscillator strength on the magnetic order in a monolayer of chromium trichloride C…
