If it weren't for the horribleness that is the #AWS #FleetManager to access #Windows EC2s via RDP(ish), I wouldn't use Chrome. However, AWS decided that FleetManager should be horrible to use with non #Chromium browsers (or maybe AWS just hates #Firefox).

If you're seeing articles about #chrome like https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/, just be aware that #chromium in #debian (and #UngoogledChromium) removes this garbage (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/pull/3676). Stuff like this is why I don't think the answer to "how do I get the latest software in my distribution" is not "Just use a flatpak/snap! Upstream Knows Best!™ "
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

For those interested in more secure browsers, I am currently testing #Helium- fwiw it does work with #Bitwarden on #Linux #Debian as password manager.

If you've used #Spotify on #GNOME lately, you've likely become familiar with its jarring blue title bar. This will likely go away soon thanks to Athul Iddya, who has worked on improving Chromium's Wayland integration for non-browser windows:

🚨 Oh no, #browsers aren't in sync with #Chromium versions! 😱 Quick, everyone #panic and rush to #GitHub to see how far behind you are, because apparently, nothing screams "excitement" like tracking the thrilling adventures of #security #vulnerabilities. 🔍🔒 Who knew browser #updates could be so riveting? 🎢
