Was? What did I miss? Even if it was discarded, there will aways be another attempt.

Basically Google wanted to put checksums in webpages and then not render the page period if the checksum didn’t match and said checksum could only be verified by “approved” browsers that had the correct certificate (which surprise was Chromium only browsers such as Chrome and probably Edge). As such you wouldn’t have been able to run any adblockers as that would change the checksum and the way the page was rendered. They could also then go one step further and do a Denouvo type set up to make sure the OS wasn’t being altered.

Super useful technology for security purposes!

Super scary technology for literally everything else.

Yes, I know about what they attempted (actually published some of it already in an official repo).

But why you talk in past tense? Have they reverted the changes and publicly pinky-promised not to do it?

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
