A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

This article is telling BS.
It's not Chrome's Java engine (l don't even know if there is any...), but Javascript and WebAssembly.

That's a huge difference, those two are used everywhere, and that's the actual reason why basically everyone is potentially in danger!

Also, quick reminder:
Using an Adblocker is a security feature, as it already blocks most of the questionable domains.
Additional white-listing script blocker increases that active security.
And another reminder: Chrome is not the best basis for these. Firefox generally rules again nowadays...

From Chrome user perspective: no.
From Firefox perspective: yes.
