Max severity RCE flaw discovered in widely used Apache Parquet
Standard operating procedure for both the Chrome [https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/s...] and Firefox [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/secu...] bug tracking systems.
But the fix itself is public in both the Chrome [https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/36dbbf3...] and Firefox [https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/ac605820636c3b96...] source repos, and it makes pretty clear what the bug is.

Show HN: I built a Rust crate for running unsafe code safely
My starting point would be Chromium's documentation, as - presumably - chrome is one of the most widely used and battle tested, user-facing, third party sandboxes running on end user machines.
Windows: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/d...
Linux: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/sandbo...
OS X: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/sandbo...
With the caveat that I wouldn't necessairly assume this is the cutting edge at this point, and there might be other resources to invest in for server-side sandboxing involving containers or hypervisors, and that I've only actually engaged with the Windows APIs based on that reading.
I wrote `firehazard` ( https://docs.rs/firehazard/ , https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/firehazard/tree/master/exam... ) to experiment with wrapping the Windows APIs, document edge cases, etc. - although if the long list of warnings in the readme doesn't scare you away, it'll hopefully at least confirm I hesitate to recommend my own code ;)

What should Frontend Developer really know?
It's ok if something doesn't look familiar at the moment. You should google it right away. Or check some source code of v8.

Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension
The source is available: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/tags/1...
It’s not “training an AI model on screen contents without consent.”
It is a stupid feature for Google to enable by default: likely what’s making OP’s machine useless is that it’s running an OCR inference model on the OP’s images to index them for search.
Go to chrome://flags and disable “Enable OCR For Local Image Search” and I bet the problem goes away. The AI Service does have a few other features, but that’s the one that’s likely to be cooking the machine.
As for the other comments on this thread, I doubt there’s anything to do with GDPR here. It’s all local.

Writing your own C++ standard library from scratch
The license was explicitly chosen to enable code sharing with LLVM's libc++ (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/open-sourcing-msvcs-s...).
The MSVC STL's quality is good enough for thousands of pieces of Windows software (including Windows itself & Microsoft's software such as Office) to depend and rely on. It delivers excellent performance for a broad range of use cases. It is actively developed in the open, delivering cutting-edge (C++23 & C++26) features, accepting Pull Requests and wonderfully documented on GitHub. It can be consumed using MSVC and LLVM clang-cl (which the MSVC STL maintainers test with CI infrastructure). The maintainers are actively working on "hardening" features to enable more secure C++ (https://github.com/microsoft/STL/wiki/STL-Hardening).
Unless you specify what "best" or "a library's quality" means to you, MSVC STL is excellent and because of that, the default choice on & for Windows.
Google chooses to only support libc++ for Chrome/Chromium (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/t...). libc++ is not a Google-owned project.

I-cant-believe-its-not-webusb: Hacking around lack of WebUSB support in Firefox
That was my very first concern when I thought about WebUSB too, but Chromium has a block list of Vendor IDs which includes various security keys.

The DOJ Still Wants Google to Sell Off Chrome
> that cannot be overridden
I thought I knew better, because the webview implementation can be changed in the system preferences, but (of course) the list of package names that can appear there is hardcoded:

New Speculative Attacks on Apple CPUs
To be fair, this is (relatively, compared to the age of the web) new behavior though.
Even Chrome, which pioneered the "tab per process" model, didn't isolate same browsing group context sites for a long time, and still shares processes on Android as a resource optimization: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/p...
Firefox only released their "Project Fission" in 2021, i.e. three years after Spectre.
