After several years of warning after warning after advisory after advisory and calls to repeatedly update or remove andNOT USE CHROME by the Department of Homeland Security, it should be inconceivable that anyone does - but they do.
Sometimes these are patched with automatic updates before horrific and catastrophic results occur, sometimes not. To be frank, part of the problem stems from the fact that Chrome is the largest attack surface out there where browsers are concerned, but notwithstanding it being the fav target are also serious privacy concerns that aren't shared by other chromium based browsers.
To be fair, many exploits are indeed shared by other chromium based browsers, but not most, while some are related to other browser capabilities, like WebRTC, but it's still best to just ditch Chrome and never look back.
Here's more coverage on vulnerabilities issued less than a month ago. It took 3 seconds to bring this up, and no, not using Google, which didn't reveal this when I tried that search engine in a subsequent search, lolz. Why would they return SERPs that poo poo their own product?
There's truly only one way to ensure safety - unplug. But there's a lot of simple things you can do to exact a reasonable level of security, so why not observe some of those best practices? It's not like it will cramp your style.
Anyway, that's my two cents. h/t to @darnell for raising awareness of this latest brokewell. Make sure you take the time to visit the link he's provided for you too.
There are plenty of #Browsers that run on #Android (to name a few, alphabetized):
Brave Browser
Chromium
DuckDuckGo
Firefox
Kiwi
Vivaldi
IMO, No one should be running Chrome - Desktop or otherwise. It's a privacy nightmare even when there aren't CERT warnings circulating.
#Senate now going through nonsensical #Republican motions re #Mayorkas#impeachment that are all being rejected. There will likely be more before a real vote on Schumer’s point of order that article I is unconstitutional.
#HouseRepublicans are expected to send over articles of #impeachment against #DHS Sec #Mayorkas on Tues afternoon, kicking off what is likely to be a brief trial in the upper chamber that could conclude as soon as Wed.
Led by 11 impeachment managers appointed by #House Speaker #MikeJohnson, House #Republicans have demanded a full trial, while Senate Democrats, who hold a 51-49 majority, are planning to band together to dismiss or table the trial.
During remarks this week, #Trump said he wanted to “pay tribute” to a person he very much respected.
Trump thanked #TomHoman, who served as acting director of #ICE during Trump’s admin [Trump loved “acting” posts bc they aren’t subject to congressional confirmation] & has since been a frequent commentator on #FauxNews.
#Trump’s open-armed association w/the group — & his intensifying focus on migrants & crime on the campaign trail — provide one of the clearest windows yet into a potential 2nd term & the hard-liners he might appoint to #DHS to enforce #immigration#law.
In campaign rallies & interviews w/ #Newsmax & #FauxNews, Trump has said he’d put #TomHoman & others back into a potential 2nd admin “to have great border security.”
Trump stands to gain billions… from the merger between TrumpMedia & Tech & the blank-check co [#SPAC] #DWAC, which took the parent company of #TruthSocial public.
The trust’s existence has previously been reported…. However, who controlled the acct, how the trust was connected to Paxum, & how the money had been funneled thru it to TrumpMedia was unknown.
#JosephLieberman, the doggedly independent 4-term #US#senator from #Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for VP in 2000, becoming the first Jewish candidate on the national ticket of a major party, died March 27 in NYC. He was 82.
The cause was complications from a fall, his family said in a statement.
…In Washington, #JoeLieberman became known as a serious-minded legislator adept at working w/colleagues on both sides of the aisle. One of his earliest achievements was having a leadership role in the bipartisan amendment in 1990 of the #CleanAirAct, beefing up federal #regulation of #pollutants.
He was also proud of bipartisan govt changes he helped enact after the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, most prominently the creation of the #DHS & the restructuring of the #intelligence community.

Congressional Leaders Strike Deal on Final Spending Bill Ahead of #GovernmentShutdown
Lawmakers resolved disputes over #DHS funding, paving the way for an agreement. But they may still be unable to meet a Friday deadline to avert a brief partial #shutdown.
#DHS will be the 1st in the fed govt to roll out a plan to integrate #AI into a variety of uses, from #crime to helping #disaster survivors.
DHS has seen the opportunities & risks of #ArtificialIntelligence firsthand. It found a #trafficking victim by using AI to create an image of the child 10yrs older. But it has also been tricked into investigations by AI created #DeepFakes.
#Trump & allies planning militarized #MassDeportations, detention #camps
As president, Trump sought to use #military planes & bases for #deportation. Now, he and his allies are talking about a new effort that current & fmr ofcls warn could be impractical & dangerous.
#Trump has made similar promises & has used inflammatory smears since his 2016 campaign. But he, his aides & allies say a 2nd turn in office would be more effective in operating the levers of the federal bureaucracy & less vulnerable to internal resistance. During his term, fmr ofcls said, Trump learned to install more ofcls at #DHS who would carry out his orders instead of trying to curb his impulses.
Do you think it a coincidence that filth reich wing nihilionares and murdercop mayors and the DHS amd FBI work side by side with a certain genocidal theocracy?
House impeaches #DHS Secy #AlejandroMayorkas, succeeding on 2nd try, in a rebuke of #Biden’s #immigration policy. The resolution is non-binding, however, & may not go very far in the #Senate bc even some #Republicans don’t believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes & misdemeanors necessary for conviction.
#House & #Senate Republicans have denigrated fellow lawmakers, #Biden admin officials & witnesses in #racist ways, both in casual comments & in official settings.
Around the same time, #HouseRepublicans released their report on #impeachment charges against #AlejandroMayorkas, the #Cuban-born #DHS secy who is the first #Latino to lead his dept. Using unusually loaded language for a cmte report, the panel described its action as “deporting Secretary Mayorkas from his position.”
