Alternatives for realtime offline-first JavaScript applications
I think that my Storage implementation that is built-in into JavaScript in QuickJS and Sciter is still unbeatable as an integrated JS Storage solution:
-
Sciter, the 5 MB Electron alternative, has switched to JavaScript
"custom version of React he publishes..."
It is not a a custom version of React but rather extension of DOM model by just these:
1. Native JSX support. In Sciter QuickJS was extended to support JSX literals out of the box: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/blob/master/quickjs-jsx...
2. Native methods:
- Element.patch(...JSX expression...) - native VDOM reconciliation implementation.

Txiki.js: Tiny JavaScript runtime built with QuickJS and libuv
In fact 1.8 Mb is quite a lot for QuickJS.
Whole Sciter engine that includes as QuickJS as HTML/CSS engines is about 6 Mb.
My port of QuickJS [1] that also includes persistent storage (think of MongoDB built into JS) is 736 Kb on Windows.

Mongita is to MongoDB as SQLite is to SQL
I've added built-in persistence to QuickJS: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/blob/master/storage/doc/introduction.md

Show HN: Svelte NodeGUI, a lightweight Electron alternative with native UI
I might go a little offtopic here. Any plans to integrate https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp. That way you can target mobile platforms too. QT supports mobiles well
As for desktop only this is great. Great work. Many people are commenting on NodeGUI only. They have forgotten to mention how Svelte also contribytes to saving memory footprint and cpu cycles over other frameworks with a much easier way to write apps. Add a small learning curve to that.

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my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).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 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...)

(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)
