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.

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…

There’s life beyond VSCode… thought I’d share my dev setup:
• Main monitor: WezTerm¹ running in a three (sometimes four)-way split with Helix Editor² as my main editor, a terminal pane for general commands while working, and Yazi³ usually running in another for working with files/directories in a project.

• Other monitor: Sublime Merge⁴ always running full-screen so I can immediately see exactly what I’ve changed (in real time) as I’m working.
Others (not shown): Br…

Screenshot of a macOS system with WezTerm running maximised (with a little bit of margin because shiny colourful wallpaper FTW). It’s split into three panes: Helix Editor running in the left with the source code for a file called src/Server.js open. A top-right pane showing unit, regression and end-to-end tests running (179 unit tests passed, 94 regression tests passed, running 7 end-to-end tests, currently at 5/7, running tests/end-to-end/kitten-kawaii-spec.js in Chromium).

So this only happens with real chromium dioxide. It’s a very noticeable smell.
A lot of “chrome” tapes were actually cobalt ferrite (Japanese manufacturers switched to that all the way back in the 1970s) and this is an easy way you can instantly tell what your type II tape is made of.

Holy shit, why am I maintaining #chromium packages instead of hunting for security holes in it?!

"This update includes 29 security fixes. Please see the Chrome Security Page for more information." Then there's a list of CVEs, with things like "Critical CVE-2026-3913: Heap buffer overflow in WebML. Reported by Tobias Wienand on 2026-02-10" The first CVE paid out $33k. The next two paid $43k each, and the one after that $36k. The next one is _only_ $11k. That's $166k in payouts to security researchers, and it's only 5 out of the listed 29 security fixes!

Firefox is choking on video on my 4k monitor on Kubuntu. Youtube's status for nerds is showing 10 - 20% of frames dropped.
Chromium is fine. I think removing all the monitor scaling helps but does not fully fix it.

This was easily the worst chromium release in my ~3 years of maintenance. They just broke _everything_, and then turned around an immediately did another release 2 days later (after delaying CVEs by a day). I *just* uploaded packages to the security buildds, and there's already a new release. With no CVEs of course, but maybe there will be some CVEs tomorrow?
Note that it takes half a day just to build the damned thing.

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.

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…

Email from Debian FTP Masters with the subject "Processing of chromium 145.0.7632.116-1_source.changes", letting me know that the package has been uploaded (to "localhost", but that's, y'know, the debian archive software talking about itself).
