This is why I don't understand the autism in that other thread about Firefox removing the option to turn off auto updates or something. I mean, why in the world would you not want to have your software up to date? There are new CVEs and other vulnerabilities in programs being discovered every day. I'm on a security mailing list and whenever something comes up about a major bug, it always says that the issue has already been fixed in the latest patch. it's just the people lagging behind on that who are leaving themselves vulnerable to exploits.
wasted quads you don't update because it breaks extensions. if you don't use extensions you can update as you wish
Wyatt Bennett
35 is at risk Applies to Chromium too. Your build is months old, this was only fixed a few days ago.
Owen Ramirez
I'm not and never updating unless they bring back the old design and mutable tabs flags
Connor King
We aren't talking about Firefox.
Caleb Long
>This is why I don't understand the autism in that other thread about Firefox removing the option to turn off auto updates or something. It's the same reason why I'll never update my version of windows. You can weave tales of 0 days and vulnerabilities all you want, but I do not trust a company that employs pajeets on their coding staff and treat users like guinea pigs to test their garbage updates. From files being deleted, to systems being bricked, to entire directories being messed up, requiring a complete re-install, to often including worse vulnerabilities as opposed to never updating at all, take your pick. I don't want any of this, and as long as I practice safe browsing, I shouldn't need to run the risk of MS screwing up my computer. I'll gladly update any other software, like my router, my browser, my virus scanners, and other browsers, but I want that choice to remain mine and mine alone. Show me that I can trust you with my computer, or I'll just risk the internet life without it.
You just posted Chromium, are you literally TOO DUMB to apply a source patch to patch the vulnerability yourself for your old build? What the fuck are you doing here?
Cameron Jenkins
Retards who are too ignorant to understand how security exploits work or how easy it is to have your machine compromised if you're running an older version of a well-known browser are responsible for about half the support-related business I get, so I'm all for disabling updates. People who fall for robocalls or popups from fake tech support are the other half and there's really no fixing that kind of stupidity.
Justin Edwards
No, that's why you use Enterprise versions of any software available, especially LTSC when it comes to Windows. So you're not a guinea pig or botnet income drone.

God forbid Chinese hackers steal my porn history and passwords to troll accounts. That’s all meant for Google!
not true. TEsted on several sites with a shit load of ads via Kiwi Browser, and it still blocks ads
Grayson Edwards
that is what packagemanagers are for every package updating itself would be dependency/linkage-hell
Thomas Allen
>using chrome
Jose Gray
>I trustt MS to not let enterprise be bloated with telemetry and pajeet coding >yes they've screwed up every single product they've ever released, but not THIS time
No, this is why we need to rally together and burn down the Google data centers.
Carter Lewis
>Engine update to break adblocking happens >GUYS UPDATE NOW THERE'S A ZERO-DAY
Hmm
Landon Diaz
If Mozilla didn't have a bunch of shitty telemetry and experiments auto-enabled with each new update people would update more frequently.
Austin King
What if I'm using Vivaldi?
Jack Kelly
then you're gay
Jason Morales
>because people regularly fetch chromium from git and build it themselves actually to be honest I have been thinking of making my own Unix with the openbsd kernel and building all my shit myself, just for the shit of it.
Adam Johnson
You switch to chrome and update it
Anthony Lopez
work smart, not hard
donate to positive technologies, they are working on taking over the intel management unit botnet processor, they work for the kremlin
John Hill
Simple fact that they would have several court cases right now related to it, if this was true.
Ryder Taylor
What's the point in even using software you can modify the source of if you're not going to do it and build your own? It's no better than using botnet software, you're only taking the word of someone else.
Christopher Taylor
>thinking ANYONE has the money to sue microsoft, let alone win
You don't even get reimbursed if their updates destroy your computer. Their tech support basically tells you to buy a new one.
Brody Turner
In the olden days I helped out at the University tech lab as part of my studies, and we were running AIX on the big iron servers which handled the email, irc, and class registrations etc. It was pretty much like, load the stock OS and then start grabbing software off of Sunsite or even Usenet and compiling that. I would wager to say that two days after installation, no IBM Risc System 6000 installation was identical as each IT staff would immediately rice the shit out of it. Base system was just your standard POSIX utilities.
Before that, we had a PDP 11/70 and every single part of it from the kernel to userland and etc. was fully custom. I still recall compiling Matlab which we somehow got on tape from AT&T.
These systems were administered by at most, a half dozen people with perhaps another half dozen student Unix nerd helpers. Full custom Unix environments built up over time, patched, etc.
These days I am confident I could do the same myself here at home. Bootstrapping would be the hardest part, from there it's all incremental upgrades.
According to the link itself, even using the browser on a limited account is enough to defang the threat. So a sandboxed VM would be good.
Bentley Flores
still not believing in sandboxed vms
Isaac Perry
so.. qutebrowser is kinda fugged atm?
Brody Martin
I'll trust it over a corporation that hires pajeets to "update" their browsers.

This is the only site I browse. I think I'll be fine.

I did an apt-get upgrade chromium-browser on my laptop, but my version still shows as 72.0.3626.119. Apparently, the version with the fix is 72.0.3626.121. Or could it be different because that's Chrome and I'm on Chromium?
Aiden Garcia
Who the actual fuck cares? If you use chromium you deserve this for giving those kikes the keys to the web.

Same. Plus you can install ublock
Wyatt Mitchell
Go download the latest version from whereever they release chromium. Their website I suppose
>this post was brought to you by the *CRCHK* --- *sip* gang
Jace Campbell
B-but I use Firefox... Also, in other news, Firefox will be incorporating some of the Tor browsers anti-fingerprinting technology. Stop using Chrome, you fucking plebs.
Anthony James
I found this: chromium.woolyss.com/download/en/#linux Which said I should just get the latest version from my distro's repository, which I believe the apt-get upgrade command should've done. Yet, according to 9to5google.com/2019/03/06/google-fixes-chrome-zero-day/, the safe build is 72.0.3626.121, but my current build after the update shows as 72.0.3626.119. The only other official-looking download link I found was the one on chromium.org for "the tremendously buggy raw build."
Do I just need to wait until Canonical puts the latest stable version of Chromium in the repository?
Alexander Morales
Could be fun. Nice learning experience.

>Stop using Chrome, you fucking plebs. I'm constantly surprised at the number of people who use Chrome. Not tech illiterates like most of Jow Forums, either, even people into CS and technology.
Why wouldn't we? More lean than FF. Better sync between devices like addon data actually transfers reliably, no performance impact when browser is in the background when gaming, lesser memory leaks...and so on. Conveniences trump whatever tinfoil bullshit you keep spouting.
Henry Moore
I have used LTSC and it still has several chunks of sneaky telemetry that requires disabling.
Samuel Hill
>use proper script and ad blockers >always check internet traffic >read up on news and always take appropriate actions
If you don't have bleepingcomputer saved onto your bookmarks for every day browsing, you're not doing it right.
>a browser in charge of scanning your filesystem and uploading metadata under the guise of anti-malware It's literally malware itself. One instance of many, why do you think projects like Ungoogled Chromium exist?
Anthony Sullivan
If you increase DPI to make it use the tablet mode it is far better than any other browsers Also Firefox actually has addons
Charles Gomez
I thought all of you fucking faggots don't use anything Google >or anything Applel

>I thought all of you fucking faggots don't use anything Google A lot of retards here on Jow Forums moved to Chromium because they think FF is an "SJW" browser since they got rid of Eich...even though Google is even more SJW than Mozilla

There is 0 reddit posts and this is almost day old? Is the patch even live in every country?
