um attack linked a couple of weeks ago
microsoft announced that they would switch to using chromium as the basis
for their edge browser but if a former member of the edge team is
to be believed google basically forced microsoft's hand in this an internet
user called joshua jb claims to have been a developer on the edge team and
alleges that google added a hidden empty
html element to youtube which effectively nullified the speed
advantage that edge had over chrome in
loading videos it did not make chrome any faster it
just made edge slower leading many to think that google made the change simply
to edge without investing the engineering into making their own
product better and this whole ed story is making people seriously contemplate
the fact that chromium-based browsers will represent eighty percent of all
browsers google is known for making some web
features chrome exclusive and if everyone uses chrome
that means google essentially controls
at least some aspects of the web now some people think monopolies are bad
as for me i think it's great yeah almost as good as the board game risk
especially when you pass you end up with just as many friends at the end
Windows 10 is adding a less risky way for you to run potentially sketchy
software Windows sandbox is essentially a virtual machine that will be built
into future versions of Windows in a nutshell it'll let you create
well a little isolated temporary nutshell where if there's a bad nut like
let's say an app that you don't trust all the way
or a website that you wouldn't normally visit you can open it in there without
infecting the rest of your system and sandbox will be pretty light too only
requiring a 64-bit dual-core processor
four gigs of RAM and one gig of free space
unfortunately you'll also need a pro or
enterprise version of Windows home
is not good enough and we couldn't go another week without
another story about facebook compromising its use of security could
we the new york times seems to just have it out for the web giants lately because
shortly after reporting on google's invasive tracking practices the outlet
has released another bombshell report alleging that facebook allowed a huge
list of corporations to access sensitive user data without the knowledge of those
users companies like spotify netflix and
the royal bank of canada were able to read write and delete users private
messages while apple had access to calendar entries and phone numbers some
of the companies in question say they didn't even know they had access to the
information gosh darn it we missed our chant
and facebook has responded saying that none of the partnerships in question
allowed access to user information without permission but
of course they would say that the whole debacle was capped off today by the news
that the attorney general of washington dc is suing facebook over the privacy
breaches brought to light by the cambridge analytica scandal i mean
