I hope not! Firefox FTW!
*Badly outdated Chrome with a bunch of critical vulnerabilities.
Don't forget every Electron app comes with its own Chrome.
Last time I checked the version Electron used by Discord was severely out of date causing several issues that had been solved months ago upstream. That’s the fault of Discord, not Electron but there are several issues with Chromium that I have to deal with on every Electron app I use. Compose sequences are still partially broken. I reported it at Chromium but they responded with a video of them testing it on Windows (not with a VM), said they couldn’t reproduce the issue (with a Linux specific input method?!) and then marked it as unreproducible.
Wait, you're telling me that Discord is probably still vulnerable to the Webp RCE vulnerability?
They use plain text and there biggest shareholder is the Tencent (the CCP let's be real) are you surprised? It's literally a data farm for China...
They probably manually added the patch.
They updated to a version that included a patch for that exploit, however it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, because they're still on 22.x, support for which has already been terminated
Problem is, for any somewhat big project (like discord) updating Electron without something breaking is a nightmarishly complex venture as Electron doesn't seem to care about backwards compatibility.
The error is in picking Electron in the first place. One particular case that I've had with several Electron apps are zombie processes. You close the window, but you check the task manager and see 4-5 processes hanging in there, eating resources for no reason.

And they thought snaps were dumb
Steam is using CEF v85 (not Electron but still). Should have gone "please be aware to not visit even slightly shady websites until we update it" but instead went "oh you must like security, so we announce that we will drop Windows 7/8 support in half a year (because ~~CEF~~ Microsoft doesn't support it anymore) so you could play your games more securely".
Y'all, there's a full video, this single image doesn't do it justice: https://birdbutt.com/@barnibu/110995778137311940
Lol edge at the end got me
The fact that the frame rate of the camera pan doesn't match up with the frame rate of the props is kinda nauseating ngl

Screw chromium! All my homies hate chromium!
Please don't screw chromium, you might cut yourself on the edges.
😳 thanks for the heads up. Because if I’m gonna cut myself down there I’m gonna scream like I’m in a Vivaldi Opera. And you know me — I was definitely Brave enough to have some Steamy “Noah get the Ark” action with it, so you literally saved me.
BTW I heard that Chrome is bad for the environment because it’s so resource intensive. That’s why me and car manufacturers are getting rid of it.
Plus I hate how it looks and feels. I would much rather get stranded in a Safari than have to stand how chrome looks.
It is not clear from this pictures whether these drums are finger size or building size. Need more perspective!

Love me firefox
Love me openrc
Love me TTY and DWM
Love me Gentoo
Fellow gentoo user
Flex your makeopts jobs amount. I've got 30.
I don't know why but you comment reminded me that I haven't updated in a week 💀
I use gentoo on a laptop so I have 4 makeopts jobs only.
Ow. I didn't use gentoo until I had good enough hardware that updates wouldn't take 2 days to finish. I used arch or freebsd when I only had a laptop available.
Surprisingly, it only takes a couple of minutes. Except if I have to update firefox or nodejs or clang or llvm or gcc, those take 4 hour minimum and it's worse when they all have to update at the same time. It's spring where I live and I don't want to know what will happen to my laptop when i try to update on summer.

Simple as
I want to get better at using TUIs and all the lot of lighter-weight software, but I've quite frankly been too stupid to learn it.
I downloaded Gentoo onto an old Chromebook with the Mr Chromebox script. Currently am trying to make it into a sandbox for me to learn more about how init systems, compilers, and other lower level OS details.
Other than reading the Wikis, are there any projects that you'd suggest to increase one's ability in those realms? Thanks!
Really what got me to learn to use the terminal more was downloading systems without tons of gui apps. Most base systems will be like that. In general my only gui apps are a file browser, web browser, and audio tools. Debian, arch, gentoo, nix. Avoid stuff like mint or endeavour if you want to force yourself into learning the terminal. The more you use it, the better you'll get. Using gui apps isn't bad, sometimes it just works better for specific actions. But knowing how to use the terminal helps for when nothing else works.
Oh hi, Cave :D
Leave me in the "past" with my gtk4 applications please.
Isn't that Webkit as well? lol
Webkit's not chrome, tho, not even close

Is there a Firefox powered framework like electron?
NeutralinoJS is an option similar to Tauri. You don't need to bundle a whole fucking browser just to run a couple of webpages with some javascript.
