Hello! I've posted about the Arc browser before, and the browser just got an update. I went into settings to see if any of the google stuff was there, and it mustve got removed, because they revamped the whole thing. You can customize your browser card now, and edit your arc account. I'm very glad they removed (or hid) most of the google stuff.

I am looking for a addon where I can select a group of links in a page while pressing a key to open them in a new tab.

Linkclump stopped working for me long time ago and I couldn't find any alternative to it.

Hi! I'm learning web development from a video and in the video, the guy installs an addon for chrome called HTML5 Outliner. I'm either using Librewolf or Ungoogled Chromium as my main browser, and I can't seem to install the addon in Ungoogled Chromium. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a setting in Ungoogled Chromium that I need to enable? Anyone know how to bypass this and install the addon?

Put any recommendations in the comments

Hi. I'm seriously considering using Arc as my main browser. It's based on Chrome, though, so it's heavily google-fied. But! It's similar to Vivaldi, in the sense it's unique. The tab tree is on the left and you have a split screen option in the task bar area. You can add chrome extensions also, which is great. It's semi-aimed at power users. I haven't discovered all features yet, so far I'm pretty impressed. It updates almost daily/regularly. I'm definitely gonna put it in my roster of main browsers.

Do you guys think floorp is safe to use? They forked the original firefox. I'm newbie to lemmy, so tell me if this is the wrong sub to post.

Hi. Floorp released an update today, and posted something interesting also. Floorp posted the parent company Ablaze, wanted to monetize Floorp while protecting the privacy of its users. I disagree, because I enjoy Floorp being free. What do you think though?

I've been using Vivaldi the past couple days, and I'm liking it a lot. I like that it has a memory saver now. The workspace feature is pretty cool too. What does Lemmy think of Vivaldi? Fave feature? Bonus question: Do you use crypto browsers like Brave?

Hi,

any LibreWolf experts here, that know how this Wolf handles saved password / auto-login? It's the only browser, that I'm aware of that shoots saved credentials directly into the login forms without any further clicks. You just have to click "login" and you are ready to go.

Unfortunately here on my workplace I'm forced to use Chrome and I have to login on many different site through the day. Mostly 3 to 4 clicks every time:

Activate login form - click Open saved credentials context menu - click Choose desired creds from list - click Login - click

Even the global password manager Keeper is not very helpful on websites. Even more interactions are neccessary for logins.

Firefox is also installed, so I thought someone can recommend an addon or userscript, whereby I'm cautious with third party addons that are handling credentials. On the other site there is Google password manager in Chrome...

Any hints?

Thanks!

Why is this needed?

Extension developers are constantly getting offers to buy their extensions. In nearly every case, the people buying these extensions want to rip off the existing users.

The users of these extensions have no idea an installed extension has changed hands, and may now be compromised.

Under New Management gives users notice of the change of ownership, giving them a chance to make an informed decision about the software they're using.

Supermium is a drop-in replacement for Google Chrome with privacy and usability enhancements, optimized for legacy and modern Windows systems alike. Supermium is developed by Win32 (win32ss on GitHub).

I’ve been using this on my iPhone for a bit (it’s free)

I really like being able to completely customize the address bar and items on it, as well as the main menu items, and the URL menu/contextual menu (the thing that appears when you hold down on a link)

there’s an iPad version available too via TestFlight

Recently discovered on Aurora Store, and goes pretty quick. Supposed to haven't any tracker

I'm creating a TagGroup and trying to update it:

//background.js

chrome.tabs.group({ tabIds: tabIds}, function (groupId) {

  //1
  // chrome.tabGroups.update(groupId, { title: groupTitle });

  //2
  // chrome.tabs.update(groupId, { collapsed: true, title: groupTitle });

   //3
   chrome.tabGroups.update(groupId, { title: groupTitle, color: "blue", collapsed: true });

  //...

For some reason, none of these functions will set title of a TagGroup, nor collapse the tabs into one.

How to do it then?

Is there any recommendations about lightweight browser (about ram management). I'm using Iceraven but is more a more eater. Anyone tried Naked Browser?

Are you using scripts, addons or just turn off images in browser's settings?

Chrome will be experimenting with defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for "high-risk files" (example given is an exe). They're also planning on enabling it by default for Incognito Mode and "sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS".

Google Chrome will soon be supporting a hybrid elliptic curve + quantum-resistant Kyber-768 system for key exchange in Chrome 116. This should provide some protection in case the quantum-resistant part has flaws, like some other proposed solutions have had. They're looking into this now to give time for it to get implemented by browsers, servers, and middleboxes, and hopefully prevent Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks.

It looks like Google's long-running project to split up ChromeOS and its Chrome browser will be shipping out to the masses soon. Kevin Tofel's About Chromebooks has spotted flags that turn on the feature by default for ChromeOS 116 and up. 116 is currently in beta and should be live in the stable channel sometime this month.

The project is called "Lacros" which Google says stands for "Linux And ChRome OS." This will split ChromeOS's Linux OS from the Chrome browser, allowing Google to update each one independently. Google documentation on the project says, "On Chrome OS, the system UI (ash window manager, login screen, etc.) and the web browser are the same binary. Lacros separates this functionality into two binaries, henceforth known as ash-chrome (system UI) and lacros-chrome (web browser)." Part of the project involves sprucing up the ChromeOS OS, and Google's docs say, "Lacros can be imagined as 'Linux chrome with more Wayland support.'"

Previously ChromeOS was using a homemade graphics stack called "Freon," but now with Wayland, it'll be on the new and normal desktop Linux graphic stack. Google's 2016 move to Freon was at a time when it could have moved from X11 (the old, normal desktop Linux graphics stock) directly to Wayland, but it decided to take this custom detour instead. Google says this represents "more Wayland support" because Wayland was previously used for Android and Linux apps, but now it'll be used for the native Chrome OS graphics, too.

On the browser side, ChromeOS would stop using the bespoke Chrome browser for ChromeOS and switch to the Chrome browser for Linux. The same browser you get on Ubuntu would now ship on ChromeOS. In the past, turning on Lacros in ChromeOS would show both Chrome browsers, the outgoing ChromeOS one and the new Linux one.

Lacros has been in development for around two years and can be enabled via a Chrome flag. Tofel says his 116 build no longer has that flag since it's the default now. Google hasn't officially confirmed this is happening, but so far, the code is headed that way.

Users probably won't notice anything, but the feature should make it easier to update Chrome OS and might even extend the lifetime of old ChromeOS devices. This should also let Google more directly roll out changes on ChromeOS. Currently, there can be a delay while Google does the extra build work for ChromeOS, so the standalone browsers get security fixes first.
