#chrome — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #chrome, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #Chrome, #safari and #Edge are built for and serve the goals of Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Any benefits for the user existing solely because they serve the developer goals or are temporarily needed for competitive purposes. This is why #Firefox matters and why there is concern about #mozilla management behaving like corporate enshifitfiers. We need to maintain a real alternative to restraint the most rapacious tendencies of the corporate browser providers.

  2. Well, I did not expect to be impressed by Edge.

    BACKGROUND: I uninstalled Google Chrome, which was my primary browser for years. For the last year or so I’ve been using LibreWolf as my primary browser, but its security settings are strict enough that some sites won’t work unless you tinker with it on a site-by-site basis. Instead of doing that, I just used Chrome for a few sites.

    BUT NOW: Since I uninstalled Chrome, I needed a browser that would work with a particular site, LibreWolf wouldn’t work, and so I used Edge.

    Oh. My. Gosh. Edge looked nimble compared to the same site on Chrome. This is a site that I visit several times a month, work related. It was never this fast on Chrome.

    So now I have to wonder, WTH was Chrome doing?

  8. Very useful browser extension for #Chess nerds: chessvision.ai/

    Scans any page for chess positions, bringing up a board and engine analysis tool, or letting you quickly import the position into lichess or chess.com.

  14. noticed today that #chrome #browser has a new feature - being able to put two tabs side by side so that it's not needed to flip between them (for copying and whatnot)

    you could do the same with multiple windows but it's more annoying to manage that

    finally something useful, among all the spying and "AI" crap

    (btw the stupid "AI" search bar button could not even be disabled without going into chrome://flags - no regular settings option exists)

  15. Laravel Lang Compromised with RCE Backdoor Across 700+ Versions

    Community-maintained Laravel Lang packages were compromised with remote code execution backdoors affecting over 700 versions across multiple repositories including laravel-lang/lang, laravel-lang/http-statuses, laravel-lang/attributes, and laravel-lang/actions. The attack involved coordinated rapid tag publishing on May 22-23, 2026, suggesting organization-level credential compromise. A malicious helpers.php file was automatically executed via Composer's autoloader, deploying a sophisticated cross-platform information stealer. The second-stage payload systematically harvested credentials from cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD systems, browsers, password managers, cryptocurrency wallets, VPN clients, and local configurations. Stolen data was encrypted and exfiltrated to a command-and-control server. The backdoor employed advanced evasion techniques including TLS verification bypass, per-host execution markers, and embedded Windows executables to bypass Chrome encryption protections.
