+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers
(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/112757810519145581)
(Upd 2: MS Edge seems to have this issue; #Vivaldi also has it but it can be disabled; Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have it at all)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageYou can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},

It turns out Google Chrome (via Chromium) includes a default extension which makes extra services available to code running on the `*.google.com` domains - tweeted about today [by Luca Casonato](https://twitter.simonwillison.net
PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave@mastodon.social, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus@fosstodon.org is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.

In a world where #opensource alternatives like #chromium are offering very user-friendly alternatives and the market share of Firefox is decreasing, something has to change. So Laura Chambers is organising important change. Change comes with the risk of failure but with no change Mozilla could die.
And remember. The biggest enemy of the good is the better.
