Chromium team developed a new font rendering library (Skrifa) as part of their Fontations library written in Rust. Skrifa now provides memory safe rendering for all web fonts since Chromium 133 for Android, ChromeOS and other Linux distributions:
Latest release of Vanadium has support for passkeys without Google Play services via the Android 15 credential manager:

Proton Pass and Bitwarden are examples of apps providing passkeys without Play services.
Vanadium version 134.0.6998.108.0 released: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/releases/tag/134.0.6998.108.0 See the linked release notes for a summary of the improvements over the previous release and a link to the full changelog.

"Come to the dark side, load Linux" we say.
Consumers: "No, no, we prefer the adware loaded OS, really. We only trust large corporations, Microsoft loves us. Please give us AI, and I like the advertising in my Start Menu. It will even be better occupying my screen! How dare you suggest a non-corporate OS!!"
Happy to report public availability of a new paper "A Data-Driven Evaluation of the Current Security State of Android Devices" at the IEEE CNS 2024: https://www.android-device-security.org/publications/2024-leierzopf-cns/Leierzopf_2024_IEEECNS2024_AndroidDeviceSecurityState.pdf
It describes our security scoring algorithm for Android devices using specific threat models.
The application is available at https://www.android-device-security.org/database and the collected data partially consists of crowdsource contributions.
Please see https://www.android-device-security.org/app/, if you want to contribute non-personal data of your device.
Ist schwer vorstellbar, dass es rechtswidrig sei, bei so massenhaftem Einsatz. Gibt es denn Beweise für die Behauptung, es sei oft rechtswidrig?
What would be even better is not to rely on the extension system at all and use a browser with a content blocker directly built into the network stack. Brave is a great choice. It's actually the only browser recommended by GrapheneOS outside of Vanadium. You get the compatibility and security of Chromium (including V8 toggle), a really good content blocker written in Rust (much better than uBOL), timely updates and a lot of privacy improvements over Chrome.
Great choices. GrapheneOS is unbeaten at the moment with MTE on Pixel 8 and newer.
Das Killerkriterium war für mich, dass man nicht einstellen kann, wer was sehen darf. Es gibt nur entweder alles oder nichts.
Etwas das jede popelige Cloud-Lösung heutzutage kann, bekommt man bei einem System mit 80 Millionen potentiellen Nutzern und höchst sensiblen Daten nicht hin?
Am Besten natürlich mit E2EE und Public-Key-Kryptographie für die Datenfreigabe, aber darauf hätte ich auch ggf. hinwegsehen.
