It is all a gimmick but as long as people are switching to a chromium based browser and not Firefox I'm happy. With that said, I don't know how anyone would trust a small team to build them a secure and safe browser. Chrome is so battle tested at this point and Google puts a lot of resources in maintaining it, they stand to lose a lot more given their scale.


And so you throw in your lot with the strongest warlord on the block, and then they turn your shelter into a prison.


sir, its a browser


This has been happening to me too with PG&E. The page wouldn't load until the Amplitude calls finish.


How many if you had to estimate?

While testing, I noticed that some flags do nothing or contradict each other, but I wasn't sure if I was correctly using/understanding the flags.


Wait, what? I missed this one, what does it actually do haha


I agree; it also makes using Chromium for all sorts of automation a lot easier. I found these because I wanted to automate generating PDFs of a report page.


I wonder if there is a reference behind '--ash-no-nudges', I tried looking but found nothing.


ash is common abbreviation from "Aura shell"; read it like Gtk/Qt. Nudges is also a common term recently - see https://medium.com/@helloannapo/behavioural-design-basics-co...


I didn't know that's where the feature flags lived. I imagine documenting them is tough because it'll heavily depend on the version since they graduate to become standard features over time.


I also found this extension to be useful and more configurable: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/allow-cors-access-c...


do you or anyone else happen to know an extension that allows getUserMedia to work without https? i just need a photo from a webcam (a la <input file capture> that opens a camera on a smartphone) for a local network webapp. configuring https just for this is fickle.


it should work over http in the special case of localhost. try port forwarding localhost:80 to the webapp.


Love it! Thank you.


I remember reading or seeing this post about how SQLite can really scale and supports a really high amount of transactions per second. I don't know if it supports distrubuted loads that well, which might be the reason why it's use didn't pick up server side.


Microsoft is in so many government offices around the world it's not even funny.


I’m certain MS is in all government offices almost globally, except that one municipality in Germany that keeps attempting a Linux transition every other year.
