FSF Slams Google over Dropping JPEG-XL in Chrome
The article is about avif not webp. Note the editors for the AOM avif specification don't even include Google https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/

Whistleblowers Take Note: Don’t Trust Cropping Tools
This reminds me of something similar from the guy who implemented AVIF in Firefox. He gives a talk about the implementation [1] where he talks about the CLAP privacy problem. Basically the spec adds a field that allows for cropping of the image, but the binary file would still contain the original. This would lead users to believe some image data was deleted when it really wasn't. I always thought he spent a lot of time and effort on this for little gain, but now I'm starting to think it was worth his effort.

AVIF images encoded with yuv422 appear black on iOS 16 / MacOS Ventura
So actually the same images I linked above are in the AOMediaCodec repo as well, under Link-U: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/tree/master/testFiles/Link-U And I see the same issue with the yuv422 images there as well. I'm guessing Apple's AVIF implementation must be incomplete?

How can HDR AVIF stills be created?
I've been trying to find a way edit 14bit RAW files (.ARW) to an HDR capable format (HEIF/AVIF). In the process I found out there's an official AVIF encoder (1) by AOM that seems like it should be capable of creating HDR PQ stills.

Question: Multiscale AVIF performance?
AVIF can do something that resembles hierarchical JPEG and that could be useful for progressive decoding: you can have multiple layers/scales, where e.g. first a 1:4 image is encoded, then residuals to get to 1:2, then residuals to get to 1:1. Examples of this were recently added to the AVIF spec: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/pull/134

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
