Looking for a stripped and bare browser that uses very little CPU/Memory (more details below!)
FWIW, I found https://minbrowser.org/ and it uses very little CPU/Memory, but it uses DuckDuckGo and I prefer to use Google as my search engine... Also I do not think it supports installation of extensions?...

My thoughts about Opera One | Reviewing some other browsers on the way too
I tried Min, I found it both appealing and confusing at the same time. It has a minimalist design and it simply looks amazing, but it has a massive drawback: It is TOO MUCH minimalist, you get confused using it, also because it's very unintuitive to use at first. It's also one of the slowest I've ever seen (on Windows, idk about Mac), even without extensions (because yeah, even if it's Chromium-based, you can't download any extensions). I guess if dev's increase it's performances, add extension's compatibility, and make it less confusing, it would be a pretty good browser, but for now, it sleeps in my trashcan.

Easiest way to install CachyOS with normal firefox
In the CachyOS installation itself you can select to install Firefox. I hope they leave that firefox fork behind and do something super-vitaminized with Min Browser. I think they could improve a lot making custom userscripts

Just received this email. Never happened before. Seems to be legit. Am I right to be concerned?
Some browsers (such as Min Browser) don't have a status bar like Firefox or Chrome to preview the target (it can only be displayed in the context menu).

What is this browser?
I know it is not but the browser reminded me https://minbrowser.org/

Why is it so hard to change Chromium's UI?
You can use Min, Fluid or any browser with full screen mode to have the same effect.

An elementary OS theme for Firefox
I love firefox, but the UI is to old, I like the Min Browser look

Par pitié installez UBlock ou le navigateur Brave pour contrer les pubs sur Youtube
des navigateurs il y en a plein: min, puffin, otter, falkon, dot, privacy browser, orion, netsurf, maxthon (de mémoire il est douteux en termes de vie privée celui là), etc.

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:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/extens...
:(

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...)

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)
