Ideally I want to be able to see what I've completed and what's still to complete all within the same list, rather than moving them out. Once a project is done I will archive the list, so that feature is fine.

Even worse could be an RCE vuln in Chrome at the same time that the google.com search page gets compromised... Also I think the post you're talking about is this video by Tom Scott: https://youtu.be/y4GB_NDU43Q

Is that the same for the Mac App Store? Looks like browsers aren't in there either.

Try visiting a popular tabloid news website and use the dev tools to see where it is loading content from. The number of horrendous tracking/ads/spam domains you'll see rushing by is unbelievable.

GP's solution is valid for the majority of software - at least the sort of software that us HN folk probably use. Unfortunately Google Chrome is a bad example here as it's not available in most repos (since it's closed source

It doesn't in this case, however you can determine that the chromium-team ppa is the official one in Ubuntu by following links from the Chromium website. The security of the package repository system falls down when people add apt sign

The worst thing is when whatever you're pasting has a newline attached, so pasting it also 'presses' return.

The scariest thing about this example is that the green "URL" below the ad says "www.google.com". Who thought it would be a good idea to allow advertisers to fake the URL like that? Unless it's an IDN homograph atta

chromium-browser is the one. Although on Ubuntu it's in the Universe repository, so you have to add the chromium-team ppa in order to get on-time updates. I will admit that Chrome/Chromium is one of the few things you can't e

Nowadays it's impossible to support the creators you enjoy online by whitelisting ads without exposing your device to multiple megabytes of untrusted, vulnerability-filled JS and iFrames with links off to malware sites. I think that th

Using browsers to download software should never have become the standard practice... Linux got it right with the built-in package repositories. Unfortunately Windows and Mac have never really adopted the super-easy "apt install this&q

Thank you for the info.

Ah yes looking interesting... although it looks like more of an enterprise product (very expensive). I'm guessing this isn't included in the $7 per month developer plan?

KeyChest.net is great for managing your TLS certificates. It can use the certificate transparency (CT) logs to detect new certificates for your domain, so once set up you don't have to maintain it. Make sure to enable the weekly report

This looks interesting, it's a bit like how Medium handles logins IIRC. One issue I see is the fact that people have to click links in emails. With the current state of phishing/spam/scams it is good practise to never click

Some messaging apps seem to prefetch thumbnails and article titles too, which doesn't work out well when you inevitably receive a spam/phishing link.

Surely this has massive security implications. A browser shouldn't be fetching arbitrary pages that I didn't ask it to. One of those pages might have an exploit on it...

One thing that I'd like to see is mandatory code signing, so that even in the event of a compromised developer account it's not possible for an update to be pushed out unless the attacker also has the signing key.

Latest commit: 13 Aug 1983 Looks like they manually backdated that for effect, as there are only 3 commits in the repo.
