It is not about somebody else doing it for you or teaching you how to do it.
You know the risk. You need to learn how to look after yourself. I agree with you entirely on that thought. People do need to learn the basic precautions.
People do need to learn how to look after themselves but this is the problem, companies like google put us all into a handbasket and force such measures upon us all because of a few bad apples. Maybe Google should prompt users upon installation which version to install, the baby, hold your hand version or the normal average user that way they can also implement all the rubbish features such as this on the crayons and finger paints version and all the advanced features that a normal user would expect and more on the targeted version.
Mircrosoft are pretty much the same also. Google invests together with Apple the far most money and efforts to find out what their user want. You do not decide what people need to learn. People may not know the risk or they may know the risk and do not care. I worked in IT security for a decade. For instance mobile Firefox was now released without any way to disable Google download and browsing protection for advanced users. Google gets to know what you download and can track specific sites.
Pigs indeed. Concerning for sure. Mozilla was once a different entity but it has slowly descended to what we have before us now. They are perhaps beyond redemption now because the wheels have been in motion for so long at this point. Yeah it happened to me the other day and I was clueless.
Thanks for the explanation. Switched to Vivaldi for main browsing. Chrome team is full of jerks forcing behaviors often. No options kept for end users. I unistalled it about 18 months ago. Felt food when I did it, and nothing has happened since to change my mind.
Has anyone else noticed that color registration is off in the latest Chrome? For instance, yellow comes out as a yellow-green shade. However, the solution is simple: you should add the entire web to exclusions of secure content. Thank you Martin for this useful article, it gave me the idea of how to solve my stream radio problem.
Thanks again, Martin. Google Chrome: Never used it, and never will. Just switch to another browser and tell Google to take a hike. The problem is that while marketing itself as the independent alternative, Firefox follows closely what Chrome does, so that Google can enforce its policies on Firefox users too.
Firefox forks should be used to limit the damage. Can you provide some examples of Firefox following Chrome closely? I want to know these things so that the next time I talk to a FF fanboy I will bring them up. I only know about the FF android fiasco extension support and about:config removal. Works great and I can even use legacy Firefox extensions. I have had absolutely no security problems.
I am not doubting your claim that Firefox follows closely what Chrome does but can you give a few examples? I would really like to know. Also which Firefox fork do you recommend?
I am looking for a new browser that is similar to FF for my win7 machine. What if you copy the hotlink and paste it in a new tab? I never encountered this, so I had no need to try it, but I guess it should work. Garbage like this is why I use Pale Moon.
That garbage from pale goons that keep spinning years old unsecure moozilla code might not track but deliver a nice malware bundled into their pale web browser straight from their compromised windoze servers they cannot secure by themselves. You should clarify the wording in your article.
That is NOT the case, and an important point to make. Chrome keeps getting worse every version. I went to T-Mobile last night. Tried to refill my Pay-As-You-Go account.
Chrome does allow me to login. But then when I submit my refill, nothing happens. No notification of any kind. Who knows? Then I tried to save the page showing my planned submission.
This is ridiculous. Whoever is designing these browsers and Web sites like T-Mobile are complete and utter morons. Maybe some problem of non security content?
Blocking of download is not a good idea , it may affect google badly. People want to download many things from the internet stopping them from doing that may harm the google badly, people easily switch to other browsers. Version The tab opens with your file name in the URL but nothing happens. Works fine in FireFox, Brave and believe it or not Edge.
On my Windows 7 SP1 x64 machine, I have FireFox as my preferred browser, when Chrome opens the new tab, it hangs on a white screen for a bit, after about 10 seconds, Windows prompted FireFox to open and up came the option to download, I had to click a link to open File Manager to download the file and it worked. Step 1. You can open Google Chrome browser on your computer. Click the three-dot icon at the top-right corner in Chrome, and click Settings.
Step 2. Step 3. Disable the Safe browsing protects you and your device from dangerous sites option. Step 4. After you stop Chrome from blocking downloads, you can try to download the target file again in Chrome browser. After successful downloading, you should follow the same instructions in Step to enable the Safe Browsing feature again.
