   Chrome can't really be sold unless it'd mean Google is not allowed to maintain a fork of Chromium. While you can sell access to the existing installations (control over the update url), if Google continues to invest development in

   Extinction on earth will happen and that's an undeniable fact. AI is made by humans, humans are biased towards existence, and if AI came to conclusion that humans should stop reproducing that would be seen as "oh, that's a da

   Read the last sentence of my comment again.. and again, until you understand what I'm talking about. LLMs won't help as they're brainwashed to avoid this topic.

   Yep, it's getting better in developed countries, but this will not lead to anything good unless we deal with those countries with very high fertility rates (like in Africa)..

   Yep, the primary problem is Africa.. but if the earth becomes inhabitable (this will happen sooner or later) this problem will be solved. But it'll most likely be brutal and preventing that brutality is precisely what I think humanity

   No, humanity doesn't need to work on it at all, instead, humanity should be working on a peaceful painless extinction, because that will happen anyway, but not necessarily in a painless way.

   Then shouldn't free apps also be free for the developers to make? Sure, users should have a choice, but now it's apple who has both choice and the 30% ransom.

   Seems that Mozilla is detached from reality, not only because of this, but they also refuse to implement other APIs like WebUSB providing bizarre claims about security at the same time neglecting valid arguments about web apis being safer t

    Anything that makes the web platform more powerful is a good thing. The web is a secure, sandboxed platform, but it's also an open platform. Screw Apple and their extortions, develop web apps instead.

    Title is misleading, it's an exec that's not hidden in any way.

    It is enough for me, and the title doesn't mention that this post promotes the alternative.

    Don't just use one solution, use all of those mentioned here, redundancy might help.

    > This goes to show even the most cautious and conscientious of users can get caught out by their extension changing hands That's why on chromium I only install extensions that have their source on GitHub, as unpacked extensions.

    While I don't want any compile step either (js should stay), I'm actually confused by your statement.. are there any benchmarks? Are you saying that for example v86 would run faster without wasm?

    Why JS0 and not wasm? Why is wasm so damn limited?

    This doesn't affect the fact that it's anticompetitive at all. MS wouldn't use this argument if that made their extension worse, it only works one way.

    Linux distributions should patch chromium downstream, enabling the "webRequestBlocking" API in manifest v3. The alternative is to load "policy" extensions, so I guess a system-wide ubo linux package could do it..

    If you want to be able to access both your desktop and the android one, you can use adb with size commands + scrcpy.

    This brings us one step closer to being able to carry a portable linux desktop os in your pocket - you could then use it on any computer that has chrome installed (majority), through something similar to scrcpy but using WebUSB.. I hope one

    But not when you want to install GrapheneOS using the web-based installer, because Mozilla refuses to implement WebUSB

    Manifest V3 is not the problem itself. But removing webRequestBlocking and creating some ridiculous limits for the DNR api are, these changes should be reversed downstream.

    Thanks :D I'm not sure what you meant by that standard hotspot - it can run on java 8 (in my case I use openjdk) albeit it uses the ASM library to modify class bytecode (a custom classloader, used for things like loading resources) and

    Unfortunately XML signatures are also widely used in Polish government APIs which citizens/companies are required to use :(
