@… FWIW the flatpak (which i personally maintain) is not as secure as the deb. This is the main reason we did not make it official.
While flatpaks are inherently good (and better for most applications with no sandboxing) the use the same type of sandboxing as Chromium uses for interprocess sandboxing (namespace sandboxing). this causes the interprocess…

I'm running into a really annoying render bug with the latest Kubuntu, which now uses Wayland. Anyone else seen this issue, and know how to fix it?

So what’s good alternative to Firefox?
I need something for Windows and iOS and it should sync passwords. Ideally not Chromium-based and obviously no AI slop.

Split view in #chromium 144 is a very nice feature.

A browser window, split down the middle. On the left side, Phanpy (a mastodon web client) showing a bunch of toots. The toot in the middle, by AI6YR Ben, says "Salon: leaked documents show scale of ICE surveillance. The documents show the spying practices of ICE on immigrants and citizens alike," followed by a url to salon.com.

On the right side, that Salon article is displayed. The headline, "Leaked documents show scale of ICE surveillance", and then a picture of ICE (nazi fucks) on someone…

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 …

Chromium that begs authors for ARIA to parse content.

Ah, snake oil.

Hey Adrian, We're a new vc backed accessibility company automating the testing process using invite-only openAI browser technology, and are seeing promising results. Our goal is 100% WCAG testing with high capture rates. Would love to tell you more if this sounds interesting!

Installing ungoogled-chromium-bin on Gentoo turned out to be very straightforward. Just as adding the Librewolf repo is btw. Recently I've been moving all browser installs over to these two. Both projects have been around for a long time and consistently deliver quality.

@… the ultra-cautious side of me thinks that there may be something wrong with a variation upon that idea.
The Christmas eve side of me thinks the opposite. It's OK, because when a future upgrade (without knowledge of what is unregistered) produces something that makes Chromium or Firefox unusable: the person will seek support, and helpers will psychic…

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?!)

Welcome to Aurorix Saigon, my opinionated take on Aurora KDE, showing a menu and a terminal window with installed cli tools. These CLI tools were installed using a predefined list in Homebrew , as was the Ungoogled Chromium flatpak. An automatically created custom image.This is very cool; further tweaking to follow.
