    Google blocca uBlock Origin su Chrome 150: come tornare indietro
    È successo. Chrome 150 ha disattivato tutte le estensioni Manifest V2, inclusa uBlock Origin, l’adblocker che milioni di persone usavano per navigare senza pubblicità. Molti si aspettavano che accadesse con la versione 151, ma Big G ha sconciato i piani.

  7. draft - ChromeOS - Re: GUI installation of .deb packages has been deprecated.

    A - so, is it "good" for "them" or "us" or "business" or what. Is it almost trying to make it feel like that sort of "no side loading" type of feeling? Or force people to use the terminal or. Or make it so "dummies" don't install bad things by accident or something? Or is it none of the above or some of the above or we just don't know? Hm. I wonder. bc it was kinda nice having the gui installation capability and this feels like a downgrade. Hm. But even if it is some of the above, and have them force users to the terminal for *initial installation* it doesn't make sense to force users to the terminal for *software updates* as software updates include security stuff that would be beneficial for all users even "dummies" or whatever. Like, sure, maybe the initial installation should require terminal, but the UI should support software updates via the gui.

  9. CVE-2026-14390: Use-after-free in Chrome ANGLE (High severity, ≤150.0.7871.45) can enable sandbox escape via crafted HTML. Update to 150.0.7871.46+ to mitigate. No active exploits reported. radar.offseq.com/threat/cve-20 #OffSeq #GoogleChrome #Infosec #Vulnerability

  10. #WARUM #google Warum? Es ist in #Browsern doch üblich, mit der #Mittlerenmaustaste die Tabs zu steuern. Warum habt Ihr das bei #googlechrome abgeschafft (wohl gemerkt, ohne dass die mittlere Maustaste eine neue Funktion erhalten hätte!).

    Chrome ist nicht schlecht aber die gefühlte responsiveness eines Browsers zu verbessern indem man das unnötige Öffnen anderer Tabs lästig macht... nicht meine Welt. -->Boykott

  11. To be fair, if I set my default search provider in #GoogleChrome to #GoogleSearch it will give me a button for #GoogleLens in the address bar when looking at #GooglePhotos, so #GoogleGemini was right about that. Thanks, #Google.

  13. I tried asking #GoogleGemini how I could use #GoogleLens while looking at #GooglePhotos in #GoogleChrome.

    It gave me four rounds of instructions that didn't match up with the actual current interfaces or menu options before finally suggesting that I just open two windows and drag the photo from one to the other.

  15. Have I previously complained about how stupid it is that #GoogleLens doesn't work in the web version of #GooglePhotos, or even the built-in #GoogleChrome interface for #GoogleGemini? The one place I commonly want to use #AI, they won't give it to me.

  21. Coywolf: AI Alt Text for the Fediverse: Chrome extension for generating image alt text on Mastodon. “A privacy-first Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that adds an AI alt-text button to the Mastodon web composer (any instance, including self-hosted). When you open the image description (alt-text) modal, the extension can send the image to Anthropic’s Claude API — using your own API key — and […]

  22. Google Chrome's Manifest V3 update is officially here, fundamentally changing how ad blockers function. By replacing the `webRequest` API with `declarativeNetRequest`, Chrome severely limits ad blocker capabilities, making real-time adaptation against evolving ad systems impossible. This isn't about security; it's about Google solidifying its grip on the browser to protect its core advertising…
