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.

Guys, three years ago I built a browser prototype that's unlike anything out there from an UX perspective.

I'm not saying it's better or worse, I'm just saying it's way different than the norm.

Since it's stashed in a drawer somewhere, would you like to see it?

»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.

Installed #Vivaldi today (I had been using #Firefox for the past ... 20 years or so?) - First Impressions:

• it is really fast (definitely faster than FF)
• very easy to import bookmarks from Firefox (exported html)
• uBlock and Zotero connector work fine
• adding No AI DuckDuckGo was easy
• noAI :)

Bonus: link to their Mastodon server on the toolbar 😊

Might have problems later but for now I like it! Thanks @Vivaldi 🙌

Deprecating XSLT in browsers. Mason Freed announced Chromium’s plan to fully remove support for XSLT, the XML transformation technology standardized back in 1999. The decision comes from its extremely low usage (around 0.05% of page loads) and serious security risks. WHATWG, Firefox, and Safari expressed support. Deprecation will begin in Chrome 143, with full removal planned for version 155 and a transition period lasting until 2027. #browser #chrome

🤖 AI browsers are NOT safe!

There is a thing called "prompt injection" and it works.¹

Funnily the thing that most see as a major issue with AI, the
crawling of the #web and one-way use of it's content, is exactly what makes their AI browsers unsafe.

If you place malicious #code in that very content, the AI scans it & then runs it² on your OS 🤯

This issue has been known to the #tech corps for years³, but they released their #AI browsers nonetheless 🤑
