Kudos to OpenSuse for having the latest Ungoogled Chromium in the regular repo's. That's cool 😎!

LOL, we (Vivaldi) recently had a bug "[Linux][Media] Open media video formats will not play on modern distros (VB-131482)" after we bumped to Chromium 152, for which we had to offer a hot fix

So, upstream #chromium just switched to a release cycle of every *2 weeks* for a new milestone release. It used to be 1 month.
If you're using chromium in #debian stable/oldstable, don't expect any kind of stability any more.

I didn't know firefox is THAT behind damm

⚡ Projects keep a target's traffic, browser state, cookies, notes and results together, and survive between prompts
🎯 A persistent managed #Chromium session lets agents browse authenticated applications while cookies and site storage survive restarts

Lately I've noticed that Phanpy really makes chromium burn a lot of CPU. That could be chromium's fault (don't get me started..), but I suspect it's because Phanpy is using (P)React, which is a whole lot of javascript. I've gone back to Elk for the time being, and it's night-and-day. Unfortunately Elk is definitely rougher around the edges, but it also uses much less CPU on my laptop.

Cloudflare launches Kitesurf, a browser built for AI agents | TechCrunch
Cloudflare has introduced Kitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser designed for AI agents instead of people. The company says the browser uses less computing power than Chromium for common automation tasks, helping developers build browser-based AI agents more efficiently.

@… It is bad yes but the title "all Chromium versions" is stretching it a little. You posted this after the fix was out for all major Chromium versions. Chrome 152.0.7977.82/83, Vivaldi 8.2.4133.47, Edge 152.0.4191.66, Opera 135.0.5973.92 and Brave 1.94.121 had all released and included fixes for this issue when you posted.

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

@… @… Good point
And even Electron upstream (which will update before all the subprojects based on it) is only up to Chromium 152.0.7977.76.
But FWIW it is like this for ever zero day Chromium has had over the year…

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)

This is why I still use Firefox- especially for YouTube, as the YouTube app is trash. I do all my YouTube browsing in Firefox.
Firefox now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin https://www.pcworld.com/article/3212428/fi

Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

@… Just as a futher follow up, I have found a way to support older distros with a third party (chromium patched) libffmpeg, on older distros, so we will have this working out of the box in a future update.
Also as you may have gathered, this is not really a technical issue, this is more of a legal issue. Otherwise we would just build Vivaldi with support for these propr…

Ugh, chromium UI. why does middle-click close a tab? There's an 'x' right there that one could click on..

🔧 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.

Did you know that OpenBSD has KDE 6.7.4 and Mango 0.16.2 in its repo's? Both the latest versions. I certainly didn't. Remarkable. Bigger learning curve, but verryy interesting!
EDIT: And Ungoogled Chromium and LibreWolf. Say no more.

Fuck you #Google, I'm not doing two #chromium security updates per week. You people are high. It typically takes half a day for chromium build because these people are incapable of using system libraries and want to bundle an entire OS into a browser.

@… All Chromium versions "that are not up to date". By the time you posted this Chrome 152.0.7977.82/83, Vivaldi 8.2.4133.47, Edge 152.0.4191.66, Opera 135.0.5973.92 and Brave 1.94.121 had all released and included fixes for this issue.

@… Nope. All Chromium versions "that are not up to date". By the time you posted this Chrome 152.0.7977.82/83, Vivaldi 8.2.4133.47, Edge 152.0.4191.66, Opera 135.0.5973.92 and Brave 1.94.121 had all released and included fixes for this issue.

@… @… All the major Chromium browsers had issued an update before this toot. 152.0.7977.76 is old (not particularly old I will grant you but also not the latest).

That's fun. "Secure" dns in browsers (at least, firefox and chrome/chromium) relies on doing an initial dns lookup of mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com or chrome.cloudflare-dns.com (or whichever DoH provider you've chosen).
If I control the router/wifi, I can blacklist the DoH provider domains. Depending on how your browser's configured, it may just fall back to normal dns (at which point the router/wifi sees & answers your dns queries).
Relevant errors give no…

After my blurb y'day of enjoying it on Kalpa, I liked it even better to see that AlienBob has Ungoogled Chromium in his repo, great stuff! Also, slackbuilds for Brave-Origin, Librewolf and Bottom are available (not by me) and up to date, so my SlackoSundries will get a big overhaul by September 1st.
#slackware

@… @… 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…
