Chromium is introducing device bound session cookies: https://blog.chromium.org/2024/04/fighting-cookie-theft-using-device.html

Google Pushes Unpopular Chrome Update
"After an update in June this year, a feature called the WebRequest API will be removed, and the adblockers and tracker blockers that depend on this feature will stop working. Since the business model of Google is to track your online activity and then show you personalised ads, it is not difficult to see why this feature is removed.
(...) they are forcing the same update on all Chromium browsers as well."

Chromium doesn't appear to have this, but everyone's aware that #Firefox includes a #PDF editor, right?

It has actually been possible to use Chromium source to build a native Windows ARM browser for ages but Google is in control of a unfortunate key component, "Widevine". Widevine is their copyright "protection" system (a.k.a. DRM). This is widely used on many popular websites such as Netflix, Disney and Spotify. Since DRM systems can only really be maintained by big players, that allows the them to control in the web browser industry, thus further concentrating power with…

"The argument... is that someday—not now, but someday—Google promises to turn off third-party tracking cookies in Chrome, and the new ad platform... is better than the free-for-all that is third-party cookies. The thing is, third-party cookies mostly only affect Chrome users. Apple and Firefox have both been blocking third-party cookies for years and won't be implementing Google's new advertising system—it's only the Chromium browsers that still allow them."

Chromium's potential beneficial effects on heart health cannot be overstated. High cholesterol, especially high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, is a known risk factor for heart disease. A delve into research reveals that Chromium can influence lipid metabolism, potentially leading to lowered LDL cholesterol levels. The implications here for cardiovascular health are profound, suggesting that this mighty mineral might confer protective benefits against heart disease.

Measuring bipartite spin correlations of lattice-trapped dipolar atoms
We demonstrate a bipartition technique using a super-lattice architecture to access correlations between alternating planes of a mesoscopic array of spin-3 chromium atoms trapped in a 3D optical lattice. Using this method, we observe that out-of-equilibrium dynamics driven by long-range dipolar interactions lead to spin anti-correlations between the two spatially separated subsystems. Our bipartite measurements reveal a subtle interplay between the anisotropy of the 3D dipolar interactions and …

Superconductivity emerging from density-wave-like order in a correlated kagome metal
Unconventional superconductivity (USC) in a highly correlated kagome system has been theoretically proposed for years, yet the experimental realization is hard to achieve. The recently discovered vanadium-based kagome materials, which exhibit both superconductivity and charge density wave (CDW) orders, are nonmagnetic and weakly correlated, thus unlikely host USC as theories proposed. Here we report the discovery of a chromium-based kagome metal, CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$, which is contrastingly character…

Harnessing van der Waals CrPS4 and Surface Oxides for non-monotonic pre-set field induced Exchange Bias in Fe3GeTe2
Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are an attractive platform for studying exchange bias due to their defect free and atomically flat interfaces. Chromium thiophosphate (CrPS4), an antiferromagnetic material, possesses uncompensated magnetic spins in a single layer, rendering it a promising candidate for exploring exchange bias phenomena. Recent findings have highlighted that naturally oxidized vdW ferromagnetic Fe3GeTe2 exhibits exchange bias, attributed to the antiferromagne…

Although the mechanics behind these effects are still under investigation, the prevailing theory suggests that Chromium's enhancement of insulin function plays a role.

Critical slowing of the spin and charge density wave order in thin film Cr following photoexcitation
We report on the evolution of the charge density wave (CDW) and spin density wave (SDW) order of a chromium film following photoexcitation with an ultrafast optical laser pulse. The CDW is measured by ultrafast time-resolved x-ray diffraction of the CDW satellite that tracks the suppression and recovery of the CDW following photoexcitation. We find that as the temperature of the film approaches a discontinuous phase transition in the CDW and SDW order, the time scales of recovery increase expon…
