Google plan to limit ad-blockers kicks off next week.
If only there were a way we could fire Chrome so we could out-fox Google's plan 🤔

Chrome now wants to store and autofill your driver’s license and other ID info.
From a cybersecurity perspective, that is a hard no from me. Info-stealer malware already targets browser autofill, and you cannot rotate a driver’s license number like a password. Putting high value IDs in the most targeted consumer app on the planet is a bad trade for a little convenience.
I wrote up why this feature is such a risky idea and what I recommend instead:

Looks like #obsidian shot itself in the foot with that webviewer... It looks like many users aren't happy with it. Is it based on #chrome ? What about data and #privacy ?
I love the KISS¹ and *nix approach, one tool for one purpose. Never been a fan of products trying to do everything for you.
Maybe that's why I prefer #vim to #emacs 🤷🏽♂️

Google abandons its promise to block third-party cookies in Chrome, leaving billions vulnerable to online surveillance. We need strong privacy legislation to fight back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/08/google-breaks-promise-block-third-party-cookies

各位象油大家好，这两天我终于把自己很想要的东西搓出来了：
一个【小红书笔记的导出/归档 浏览器扩展】📦
拖延症的我终于不用“等到笔记消失再惋惜”了（就是现在！）
它能帮你干啥？
· 一键导出当前笔记内容：标题/正文/标签等，想存就存
· 评论区也能一起带走：展开回复后一起归档，省得手抄
· 导出格式可选：留作资料库也好、做检索也好，总之不怕“只剩截图”
· 媒体资源顺手整理：图片/视频链接一起收纳，后面找素材更丝滑
· 本地保存优先：不折腾账号体系，你点导出才导出
以及重点来了——
如果你也遇到过“云吃吃”那种情况：某天想翻回去，结果一搜啥也没有、链接也失效、只剩空白……
那我只能说：互联网是有记忆的。从现在开始，至少你自己想留的内容，不会再轻易变成“查无此人/查无此帖”。🫠
欢迎象友们来用，多多反馈 bug + 建议！

Ficou mais fácil usar o Marreta, nosso quebrador de paywalls, com a nova extensão para o Chrome. Usa Firefox? A última atualização (0.4.1) trouxe suporte ao Firefox ESR e ao Firefox para Android.

Browsers are still on the news and this time they're caught in the AI wars: https://world.hey.com/ricardo.tavares/ai-browsers-less-local-more-clouds-e19c5386 How does that help or threaten the web?
Interesting… but why is this at the browser level instead of OS level? 🤔 https://blog.chromium.org/2025/05/fighting-unwanted-notifications-with.html
Any Chrome geeks know how to make chrome stop being stupid and let me access my damn site?
BackupBrain is running without SSL on another computer on my network. I didn't want to keep remembering the IP so I added this to my /etc/hosts
<its ip> backupbrain
It's there. It's worked in FF for years. What do I need to do to convince chrome to stop lying and let me access it?

Y’all remember a couple weeks ago when I shared Privacy Guy’s article about #Anthropic being sketchy?
#Google said, Hold my beer, and dropped a 4 gig #ai weights file on every #chrome user. You can’t delete it, it reinstalls unless you can wizard your way through some obscure settings. And, the browser doesn’t use it, it ships queries to google cloud. It exists only so they can say it’s “local”.
“An engineering team at a large AI vendor decided that the user's machine is a deployment surface to be optimised for the vendor's product roadmap, not a personal device whose owner is the legal authority on what runs there.
The Anthropic case put a pre-authorisation for browser automation on around three million Claude Desktop user devices [19]. The Google case puts 4 GB of AI weights on, by my mid-band estimate, around 500 million Chrome user devices, with proportionally larger ePrivacy, GDPR, and environmental exposure.”

By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: https://www.theverge.com/tech/924933/google-chrome-4gb-gemini-nano-ai-features).
Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as https://vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no-google-topics-in-vivaldi/ or https://vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-vivaldi-users-will-not-get-floced/).
We've also been very outspoken about our dislike of the built-in AI trend in the browser industry, but in case there's still any doubts: yes, we disable all Gemini-related features, and we've been doing it for a while.
“Google Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. The file is named weights.bin. It lives in OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, #Google's on-device #LLM. #Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it.”
