Brash: Chromium Browser DoS Attack via document.title Exploitation

Brash is a critical vulnerability in Blink, the rendering engine that powers Google's Chromium-based browsers. It allows any Chromium browser to collapse in 15-60 seconds by exploiting an architectural flaw in how certain DOM operations are managed.

The Samsung Internet web browser is making the jump from mobile to desktop with the first beta release of Samsung Internet for PC. It's a Chromium-based browser with support for cross-device sync and "some" Galaxy AI features. #WebBrowser #Samsung #SamsungInternet #GalaxyAI https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-internet-expands-to-pc-with-new-beta-program

»Crash, Boom, Bang—Offene Sicherheitslücke lässt fast alle aktuellen Browser abstürzen:
Das Problem betrifft sämtliche Chromium-basierten Browser und zeigt damit, wie weit die Monokultur in diesem Bereich vorangeschritten ist«

Vorher hatte ich oben den original Link getootet. Hier noch ein deutscher Artikel erklärend darüber.

AI company Perplexity launched a web browser called Comet in July, but at the time it was only available for $200/month subscribers. Now it's free for everyone. It's a desktop-only browser for now, but mobile versions are coming. https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/comet-is-now-available-to-everyone-worldwide #Perplexity #Comet #WebBrowser #AI

PS My apologies @nicktaylor, now that I've read more into Ladybird I see they're doing both. Creating a new browser and a new not-for-profit for it. I'll be intrigued to see how they plan to structure the org to avoid Mozilla's fate.

Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser. Even if only to swap them out over time, as Chromium did.

"The architectural view in which search, social, and browsing are distinct is a distraction that does not map to the experienced reality of most people and that is in fact conceptually arbitrary with respect to the tasks that people actually seek to accomplish on the Web. In a sense, we're missing the Web for the tabs."

This also happened to me changing duckduckgo search back to google.

It didn't happen with Firefox so there is a bug somewhere. It might be interesting for someone to track this down. I doubt it was intentional, but could lead to finding other unexpected behavior.

My understanding is Fennec is a pure rebuild of Firefox without the firefox branding. There are other browsers available that make various changes to Firefox behavior. Fennec is not one of those.

The browser I use on Android (Fennec F-Droid) just switched my default search engine back to Goggle, and what's worse, completely removed Mojeek and Brave as search options. This is an anti-feature!

It would be great if F-Droid builds of Android browsers stripped out the code that pulls dick moves like this.
