+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers

(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));
},
);More notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jul/9/hangout_servicesthunkjs/

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
Great news! I love the Firefox Addon but the UI sure looks a little outdated.
I feel like Bitwarden is heading in the right direction. They also made their mobile authenticator public not too long ago: https://github.com/bitwarden/authenticator-android

1st: Have a look at cross-platform applications that are available on the current platform and Linux, and see if they are good for you (e.g. #LibreOffice, #Zotero, #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #Qoppa #PDFStudio, ...)
2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by #Linux? Check the internet for it.
3rd: After switching: Look first for software in the distribution repositories and not on the websites of the projects. Install it from the distribution if available.
Firefox Onebar's repository has moved from Codeberg to https://git.gay/freeplay/Firefox-Onebar ! Along with some minor updates to the style 
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.
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation
I want Firefox to succeed more than ever and I support Mozilla finding better revenue sources than search engine default sales, but I do not support a $7M salary for its CEO.
I canceled my recurring donation to Mozilla because I need that money more than Mozilla’s CEO needs that money.
If there is a direct funding option of developers working on Firefox, I will happily reallocate that money. Send me links.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this on-device #translation #Firefox capability.
I see why you want this to be an option in #thunderbird! Personally I hope #SelfHosted translation comes to #openSource #messaging and #documentSharing platforms like #nextcloud too.
Side-by-side raw and translated words would be a neat option too.
