Google Issues Warning For 2 Billion Chrome Users
In an attempt to protect users and buy them time to upgrade, Google is keeping the details surrounding CVE-2021-37973 a closely guarded secret. All the company would provide were its threat ranking, what part of Chrome had been exploited and that it was discovered in-house by Google employees:
This affects Microsoft Edge, Chromium, Opera and Vivaldi. Currently Chromium is patched, the others are not.

I guess brave, falkon and qutebrowser also, right ?
Million dollar answer to why “fragmentation” is good, and why not just 1 distro, 1 desktop, 1 browser 
EDIT: heh if this becomes “social media big”, manjaro will AGAIN show why its important to listen to them, in making vivaldi default in a community edition.

this is a bummer for me in qutebrowser, since qtwebengine is at chromium 87 now ( unless they update the fixes ( which they do some ) or its "too old to have the bug :P" )
I figured peeps on our side of the fence would not be using straight up Chrome. 
Is IE5 infected?
Btw only joking

A bit late to the party lol… but I think it’s safe to assume today’s Vivaldi-snapshot is patched

Destination Linux takes on....Firefox, and discusses its sad state of affairs, lost focus, user base decline, and so forth. Worth a good listen if you are interested. Not sure there is really a good alternative, sadly.

Windows “The Privacy” 11 ?
EDIT:
by the way, interesting… after watching that part about firefox, went on to see a video talking about the same about 1 year ago.
ended up watching more videos from it… very interesting.
