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

Google accidentally exposed details of unfixed Chromium flaw
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-accidentally-exposed-details-of-unfixed-chromium-flaw/
@… @… It is non trivial to maintain a completely up to date Chromium on BSD and with both the patches that are already needed and our own changes.
Could it be done, yes but we do not have capacity to do it ours…
If anyone can explain to me how Chromium/Blink decides when to use AA, I'd very much appreciate it. These are identical elements, and for some reason even changing the flex direction of the parent container "fixes" this. (enables AA for both)
(Helium 0.13.4.1 / Chromium 149.0.7827.155, macOS 15 on a low DPI screen)
«Helium ist ein Chromium-Browser ohne Google-Ballast:
Eine neue Variante von Googles Surfprogramm richtet sich an Datenschutz-Verfechter und Cloud-Abstinenzler und punktet vor allem mit den Funktionen, die fehlen»

Ich bevorzuge den Firefox-Klon @…

Are you confused by what the heck happened yesterday with the cancellation of Trump's AI-cyber order?
Check out today's Metacurity, which synthesizes and clearly explains it all based on some mighty reporting by an amazing crew of DC's top political reporting pros.

@alexshendi@rollenspiel.social I couldn't care less what the folks at Graphene say about the Gecko browser; I use Fennec (i.e., Firefox) on my Graphene Pixel and Librewolf on my computer. But I would certainly never use a Chromium-based browser. Maybe Gecko is more vulnerable in high-risk scenarios like espionage or dissident activities in repressive states like Russia, China, or now the U.S., etc.—I don’t know—but for the average user, there’s certainly no increased risk.

Anybody know if Chromium will have this monstrosity? I think not?
🔧 A small imperative API — createBubbles(), add(), remove(), configure(), toggle(), activate() — plus lifecycle events. icon and content take plain HTMLElements or a render callback that wires framework unmount to the bubble's lifecycle.
🚀 Zero dependencies, framework-agnostic — plain TypeScript over the DOM, SSR-safe, tree-shakeable ESM with types. Tested across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit touch on Pixel 7 and iPhone 14. MIT licensed.
@dawid@social.craftknight.comI'm pretty sad that my favorite browser #vivaldi adopted a min-width change from chromium to make it unusable to on linux phones. Guess the options are firefox or firefox then. https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/1nk40kf/unable_to_resize_window_to_smaller_than_500px/
@… Opera does however seem like it is likely missing the other security fixes from the last two Chromium minor updates (which is hundreds of security fixes) but perhaps they are just not clear about this in their changelog. 🤷
Confirmed, NoScript on Chromium-based browsers blocks this attack (and Firefox is immune)
https://todon.eu/@ma1/116618961071546309
@… Both updates (Vivaldi & Opera) include a fix for CVE-2026-11645 (Out of bounds memory access in V8), which has a known exploit in the wild. Brave and Chrome ( ESR) already had this fix in their previous round of updates.
Edge is the only Chromium based brower listed here that does not yet have a fix for this AFAIK.

Chrome prohibits first-class ad blocking extensions.
Chrome now installs a 4GB AI model.
Google is an ad company. They harvest your data.
Use Firefox or else a Chromium fork like Vivaldi.
