The person you replied to is right, the "security" of Linux might as well be nonexistent compared to macOS and especially iOS/Android. Even the developers of Secureblue ( https://secureblue.dev/ ) state that de

How beneficial is this versus just being theater? The example used in this is the government accessing the reporters laptop via biometrics. But in this case, and especially under this admin legal or not this app won't stop them, unless

If you're in a situation where this is a pressing issue, it's not a good solution as it's trivial to detect if it's a fake environment, especially if they get suspicious and run external forensics on it. iirc the Graphen

It was more of a security related change. MV3 overall objectively is far better for browser security than MV2. MV2 was essentially giving extensions a full on free RCE pathway. MV3 is what it should’ve been from the start imo.

AlBugdy and the person you are replying to are literally right re: server delivered backdoors. Using E2EE applications in a browser moves the trust back from the client to the server. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=476

Yeah I'm not sure what the point of this article is really or am I probably misunderstanding something? There's no such thing as 4K HiDPI on a 4K monitor. That would be 2160p @ 2x on an 8K monitor. 4K at 100% scaling looks terribl
