| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Jan 12 01:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The foundation, a nonprofit that supports open-source projects, said the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative aims to provide a neutral space where industry leaders, developers, academia and the open-source community can collaborate to support Chromium. </p> | Jan 12 01:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> This project is best known for powering browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, the privacy-focused Brave and the highly customizable Vivaldi. As an open-source browser codebase, Chromium is highly extensible, meaning that it can be used to build numerous applications beyond browsers using its components. </p> | Jan 12 01:07 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Jan 12 01:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, which gets at least $500,000 annually from Google for its platinum membership fee [PDF], said the browser foundation support group will "provide much-needed funding and development support for open development of projects within the Chromium ecosystem," without specifying the source or amount of that funding. </p> | Jan 12 01:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> The Linux Foundation did not immediately respond to a request to clarify the funding arrangements. The Register understands that all the members will be contributing funds. </p> | Jan 12 01:07 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> One of the most notable additions in the new version is the ability to create rules for transforming series names within both the Bulk Metadata Editor and the “Preferences > Metadata” download settings, empowering users to streamline and standardize their series listings with just a few clicks. </p> | Jan 12 01:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>A second reason for why I'm writing this piece is because, after I wrote my Slimbook Executive report 7, which wasn't very happy, lots of people emailed me, telling me to ditch Ubuntu (well, Kubuntu), and try something else.

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>Because System76 strongly emphasizes performance, the media player utilizes Vulkan for rendering and VAAPI for decoding (when available), ensuring resource efficiency without compromising quality. Although it currently focuses on video, audio playback features are on the horizon. </p> | Jan 12 01:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> In addition, the developers are working on a COSMIC-native codec installation application to replace the older sessioninstaller tool. While still in its early days, this future addition will streamline adding and managing codecs on your system. </p> | Jan 12 01:18 |
