gnome-clipboard-history VS clients

Ubuntu uses GNOME. I use a GNOME extension, Clipboard History. It works well.

I'm currently using 4 extensions.

system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.

Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)

I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.

Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)

I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)

I like icons in my toolbar.

Clipboard History

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/ – it's a 10x boost to my productivity since my daily job is copying snippets of code from StackOverflow /s

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support Because it's needed, and GS doesn't provide for it. Bluetooth Quick Connect Until GS supports this by default. [Caffeine] Because that's how it should be by default. Clipboard History Because I frequently need several bits of text to paste at different times, and my workflow is often non-linear. ddterm Because I frequently use the terminal for small one-off operations and I prefer to summon and dismiss the terminal with one keystroke whenever needed. Besides, it's one of the best terminal emulators for GS. Dim On Battery Power Because GS doesn't do that, and it should. GSConnect Obviously. Hot Edge Because it greatly simplifies workflow and eliminates the need for a dock extension. Primary Input on LockScreen Because Gnome devs haven't fixed this bug for ages, and it's frustrating to have non-latin layouts even available for the system password input. Unite Because it takes care of focusing windows that demand attention and removing titlebars on maximized windows (precious vertical real estate). I also use it for aesthetic purposes: to remove the Activities button, to display the current window title instead of it (very handy with maximized browser - shows the page title using almost all the space left of the clock), and also to shrink the distance between panel items (Unite does it better than Just Perfection).

-For the Clipboard Manager, I couldn't find the one you mean, but I had good experiences with Clipboard History by SUPERCILEX (I'm using it right now to copy the links). Clipman by popov895 seem pretty similair but I haven't tested it. Pano - Clipboard Manager by alperenelhan is a fairly new one that looks awesome, but is still missing some features I need.

ArcMenu, Blur my Shell, Clipboard History, Dash to Panel, Desktop Icons, Pop Shell and Sound Input and Output Device Chooser are the ones used while also switching "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" on.

A more performant and newer alternative to clipboard indicator is clipboard history

On Ubuntu, Fedora, and similar, this is probably the best-integrated one: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/

I didn't go chasing through all the typescript but I'd presume adding a new PassphraseGenerationStrategy https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/blob/desktop-v2024.3.0/...

Breaking: Open Source software have BUGS!

https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/6560#issuecommen...

Bug fix for this has been merged last week. It is not in 2023.10 though, so you will have to wait for the next release of the web vault.

It's definitely out (https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/releases/tag/browser-v2... just looks like browsers haven't approved it yet.

I'm not sure about any specifics beyond that both are getting support for them (for the keepass ecosystem I'm sure about other mobile clients, but I don't think the feature request to support passkeys has been acknowledged by the keepass2android dev sadly). Here's the keepassxc PR with some details about the implementation, and what should be done in future work on passkey support: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/8825

Bitwarden has a few blogs if you search for bitwarden passkeys, but from skimming one it didn't seem to go into technical details (though I didn't watch the videos). I guess you could look through the PRs: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/pulls?q=is%3Apr+passkey... but I don't really feel like doing that.

Bitwarden has regular external audits (here is the 2022 audit) and the code (both server side and client side) is open source (here f.e).

/bitwarden_license directory

Now the secret manager is in the `bitwarden_license` directory so it is not a GPL covered product and not open source but covered by BITWARDEN LICENSE AGREEMENT [3]. It does not allow you to use it as OSS.

There are apparently known problems (GitHub Issues #5807) in both Edge and FireFox with this newly released browser extension update (2023.7.0), which should hopefully be fixed soon. In the meantime, on Edge, you can revert to version 2023.5.1 for Chromium, which is still available from the Google Chrome store:
