The fact that after EU passed Digital Markets Act, non-Chrome/Safari browsers begin to increase their share, shows that even a watered down law can make a difference. That's not to say it's all over – on the contrary, it's important to push further and make sure Apple/Google truly give people the choice – but the signs are so far positive https://www.reuters.com/technology/eus-new-tech-laws-are-working-small-browsers-gain-market-share-2024-04-10/
Therefore: With #Chrome, you only get a secure #browser when you pay money to #Google. Otherwise, you get a crippled product that exposes you to risks.
Switch to a #Firefox browser in order to get a browser that offers maximum #security by default.
Die seit 2024 gültige Initiative von Google mit dem Titel "#PrivacySandbox” einfach erklärt.
Sie bedeutet: 3rdparty-Cookies fallen weg bei #Chrome, neu kommen viele neue Schnittstellen wie.
Fazit: "Das ist aus Benutzer-Sicht durchaus ein Zuwachs an Privatsphäre (Daten, welche den Browser nicht verlassen, können nicht durch Dritte missbraucht werden), führt aber auch zu einer Stärkung der Position des Browsers bzw. des Browser-Herstellers."
Plus de 97 000 sites web affichés dans le navigateur #Chrome analysés par des chercheurs de l'université de Zurich, en observant plus particulièrement les fenêtres de consentement pour les #cookies : 90 % de ces sites contiennent au moins une violation de la #ViePrivée (absence du bouton pour refuser, refus non pris en compte, dépôt de cookies avant l'interaction de l'utilisateur, consentement implicite) et 65 % ignorent les choix de l'utilisateur. #RGPD https://eupolicy.social/@ilumium/112235832500838592

An alle, die es bisher noch nicht verstanden haben: Nutzt #Firefox!
#Google#Chrome geht jetzt tatsächlich so weit einfach jede aufgerufene URL (ja URL, nicht nur die Domain) direkt nach Hause zu schicken um sie dort zu "überprüfen".
Klar, kann man ausschalten, aber wer macht das schon?
-> deinstallieren und etwas ohne #Schlangenöl verwenden!
Oh, and, BTW, does anyone know what the crash dump logs browsers generate are actually used for? None of the teams involved in helping me troubleshoot my crashes seemed to be interested in them nor did they seem to have any idea what they would do with them. #crash#Chrome#Edge#Google#Microsoft
W3 HTML Validator @ https://validator.w3.org is not working for me on latest #Chrome. Gets stuck in an endless Cloudflare verification loop. Works fine on other browsers (Brave, Safari, Opera, Firefox, et al). #bugs
My main laptop is a #Macbook Air running #MacOS, but interestingly, I don't really use the #OS. I use it as if it's a #Chromebook instead. I only launch #Chrome with it (and #QEMU to run #Linux). Every time I HAVE to use the OS at length, e.g. to do something with Finder, it's an exercise in frustration.
What I enjoy very much is the interaction of the hardware with the input UI software (e.g. how the touchpad feels and behaves in conjunction to #software). Not the rest of the system.
⚠️ PSA: If you are using the ModHeader extension for #Chrome, #Brave or #Edge, uninstall it immediately! It has become spyware, tracks website visits and injects advertisement into websites.
Every family member I have uses Chrome on their mobile because “Google” and pretty much every family member has over 100 tabs open at any one time.
And that’s not because they want 99+ tabs open. It’s because they simply don’t close them / practice tab management.
Like, it’s a little frustrating that they all use Chrome, but even more frustrating that Chrome doesn’t have the option to “Close tabs after {days}” option.
Some encouraging browser results for Windows on ARM! Google delivering ARM support for Chrome is boosting benchmark scores above Edge on ARM and above Chrome and Edge on Intel chips. 👍
