Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Demystifying the Shadow DOM
One of the unexpected use of shadow DOMs for me was a document generated for image resource URLs [1], because the HTML standard apparently specifies the exact DOM structure of the generated document except for the `` element [2].

Detect when your installed Chrome extensions have changed owners
Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).
I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:

Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
Hmm. It looks like files with the .lnk or .pif file extension can only be downloaded on a user gesture: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/39841e54180...
So it can't be done silently. Although, I do wish the type was marked "DANGEROUS" a la dll files.

New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
On Linux, Chromium uses setuid or user namespaces to restrict the access of sandboxed components and seccomp-bpf to reduce the kernel attack surface.
Check out the Chromium docs on this topic: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/l...

Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
You can also disable JIT in Firefox by setting javascript.options.baselinejit to false in about:config, although you won't get CET.

Google Is Tracking You Even in Incognito Mode, New Disclaimer Is Up
For the sake of completeness, I've traced the evolution of the notice over time:
From 2008-07-26: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: / • Websites that collect or share information about you / • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit / • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys / • Surveillance by secret agents / • People standing behind you" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/09911bf300f...)
From 2013-12-07: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, software, or people standing behind you." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c5e36c57178...)
From 2013-12-13: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/70821506825...)
From 2014-02-27: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, governments and other sophisticated attackers, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/ab54bd65701...)
From 2014-04-29: "Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/eb09a62ef40...)
From 2016-01-15: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/b7dac1a6a79...)
From 2017-02-27: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/cfe102adddc...)
From 2017-03-29: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer or school / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/7ca3ccf74e8...)
(Note that some of these were behind a feature flag for a few months.) Also, it looks like they've been intending to modify the new-tab page text for Incognito windows for some time, as part of the "Revamped Incognito NTP" project. You can view the modified text with 'chromium --enable-features=IncognitoNtpRevamp':
From 2021-08-13: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites know when you visit them / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers may monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/e6ae57ba385...)
From 2022-01-25: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites and the services they use can see visits / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers can monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/8b349f6c984...)

What Progressive Web App (PWA) Can Do Today

People like me are why you shouldn't run a hosting company
I think its weird that Vercel has this limit. There is no practical reason I can think of for having such a limit on URL characters that is so small. Chrome suggests a 2MB limit[0] for example. The platform itself doesn't have one, and Firefox I believe if memory serves (I can't find the source for this claim atm) is 1 MB effectively, and I don't think Safari is any lower than that either (and may well be more inline with Chrome on this, at 2 MB)

Crash on upload screen (Desktop app)
Maybe open issue to github repo. I think there was similar, but it seem to have been fixed https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7732

What is next?
I've also been worried about the lack of activity on GitHub. It looks like development on lbry-desktop halted back in Nov.
- The beginning of the end? Specific files are being “disabled” from the ocean we love to sail. Are they just experiencing server issues? Seems unlikely. Only time will tell. “Disabled” means a manual action. This is not good. Hoping to see mass re-uploads for the creators files who got disabled.

LBRY Desktop client does not include Rewards/ Invites anymore.
I don't know, but guessing that blocking content will be left solely to hub servers. Currently app is also using some other filtering lists. https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7681

Why is my Optimize and Transcode Video box unticked and greyed out even though I have Automatic Transcoding with FFmpeg correctly configured? The same setting is selected on my old PC even though FFmpeg is not even configured so I'm confused.
Seems to be broken on latest version, opened issue here https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7685
