| DaemonFC[m] | And it just so happened that they were probably buying a lot of data that they already had. | Jan 28 15:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One of the Avast spyware extensions was for Chrome. It got removed after the public revelation that Avast is spyware. | Jan 28 15:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows has a built-in antivirus now. I don't know why anyone would be installing something like this. | Jan 28 15:39 |
| <--smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has left #techrights | Jan 28 15:39 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's probably at least as effective as Avast, maybe a fair bit more. Microsoft has access to more "telemetry" and undocumented Windows API. | Jan 28 15:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | God knows it wouldn't be the first time. Remember this "Our browser is lighter and faster?". It goes back to Windows 98, where they actually bloated the memory use of Windows by almost 35% to preload a copy of IE. | Jan 28 15:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then the resource monitor didn't count it as IE, and they said IE used less RAM than Netscape. | Jan 28 15:41 |

| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Hm, their dual-screen thing has some merit. But somehow I think it makes the device more fragile. | Jan 28 19:12 |
| XRevan86 | and more inconvinient than helpful | Jan 28 19:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's Microsoft. They're not used to having to produce products that are better than existing ones. | Jan 28 19:14 |
| vortigrex | and they're also not capable of doing so | Jan 28 19:14 |
| XRevan86 | I expect to see more of those devices on the market and then it'll die off. | Jan 28 19:14 |
| XRevan86 | those being dual-screens like that | Jan 28 19:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | vortigrex: Fucking kill google raaaargh!!! *throws chair* | Jan 28 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 10 years later, Chromium patches from @microsoft email addresses. | Jan 28 19:27 |
| vortigrex | lol | Jan 28 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's looking more and more like Chromium is going to be the only important browser engine because if things keep going this way, it'll be the only one left. | Jan 28 19:28 |
| vortigrex | just wait, this might be their method of fucking killing google | Jan 28 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's so many companies shipping Chromium browsers at this point that I don't think Mozilla has the resources to keep Gecko at par. | Jan 28 19:29 |
| vortigrex | finally crashium will be the new Idiot Exploiter | Jan 28 19:29 |
| vortigrex | (and, fittingly, the new Idiot Exploiter is also crashium) | Jan 28 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is a shame. Google already feels confident enough that it can start crippling extension APIs in ways that make ad blockers less effective. | Jan 28 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Eventually, they might just remove those APIs when there's no competitors left. | Jan 28 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm kind of shocked that they're removing Native Client, Pepper, etc. | Jan 28 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They claim the "web platform" is capable of all that stuff now. I suppose they mean WebGL and WebAssembly and all the other things like that. | Jan 28 19:31 |
| vortigrex | https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/im_shocked.gif | Jan 28 19:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably keeping around all this baggage is a nightmare and increases the attack surface of the browser. | Jan 28 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The whole Chrome App thing flopped, so they're smothering it with a pillow now. | Jan 28 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And if you were actually using that, sucks to be you. But that's Google for you. | Jan 28 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Microsoft had that Active Desktop thing in IE 4/Windows 98 (or 95/NT with the shell update). | Jan 28 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One of the things Windows 98 had was a "channel bar" that came stuffed full of advertising. | Jan 28 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And the first thing anyone did with it was kill it, of course. | Jan 28 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But until IE 7 in Vista, you could still bring up an empty channel bar by typing ie -channelband in a run box. | Jan 28 19:36 |
| vortigrex | i know about active desktop | Jan 28 19:37 |
| vortigrex | it had such amusing failures | Jan 28 19:37 |
| vortigrex | also, with proper software design, all that "baggage" could be in extensions | Jan 28 19:38 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-blog.samuelmaddock.com | Samuel Maddock’s Blog | The End of Indie Web Browsers: You Can (Not) Compete | Jan 28 19:38 | |
| vortigrex | but the crashium people don't do proper software design | Jan 28 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So ads in Windows are hardly new. | Jan 28 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's tiles full of ads now. | Jan 28 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Google: Anyone can license Widevine! | Jan 28 19:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A bunch of non-Chrome browsers try to.... | Jan 28 19:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Google ignores them, and won't even reply to acknowledge that their emails were received. | Jan 28 19:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | See also: Google's approach to other browsers complaining that a Google website is broken, or locking them out with bogus UA sniffing. | Jan 28 19:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you actually look at Mozilla's WebCompat website, you'll see that they apparently have a "hotline" of some sort to Google to get in touch if Google's sites break Firefox, but oftentimes they don't reply and the solution is to apply a workaround to Firefox. | Jan 28 19:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Annoyingly, Chrome and Chromium-Freeworld are the only browsers on Fedora with actual support for VA-API. | Jan 28 19:47 |
| vortigrex | another solution would be to not use google's sites :> | Jan 28 19:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So unless you want Firefox hogging 40% of your CPU time playing a Youtube video, you have two options and they're both basically Chrome. | Jan 28 19:47 |
| vortigrex | you could just play videos with mpv (possibly downloading them separately with youtube-dl first) | Jan 28 19:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Yeah, HLS is the done thing now for sites that want to make it a nuisance to download their videos but don't actually want to use DRM. | Jan 28 19:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The WebExtension system doesn't allow direct disk writes, so Video Download Helper has to use a helper app to capture the packets in the stream and mux them back into an MP4 container and write the file to disk. | Jan 28 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | XUL extensions could do direct disk access because they could do anything FIrefox could. | Jan 28 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But those days are long gone. | Jan 28 19:50 |
| vortigrex | they could have an option to use youtube-dl as a helper app | Jan 28 19:50 |
| vortigrex | then users wouldn't have to worry about another untrusted binary | Jan 28 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Helper App is open source. | Jan 28 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But yeah, it's compiled binary "for your convenience". | Jan 28 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla insists that this is safer than just giving the WebExtension disk write access so that they can review the goddamned code. | Jan 28 19:51 |
| vortigrex | :> | Jan 28 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We can see how much safer WebExtensions are. Mozilla just admitted that no less than 300 such extensions, including like 187 from the same company, just pulled their underwear over their head and honked their nose. | Jan 28 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They somehow got around the Mozilla review process and ended up pulling in binaries from servers and planting them on the user's computer. | Jan 28 19:53 |
| vortigrex | but the WebExtension API came from google, so it's got to be great :> | Jan 28 19:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla policies are very clear that "obfuscated code" isn't allowed, which means that if they were actually looking at the code, they didn't understand what it was, and then signed off on it. | Jan 28 19:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mission Accomplished! | Jan 28 19:53 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Have you heard of invidio.us? | Jan 28 19:57 |
| danielp3344 | Hi all, I'm trying to do some research on DRM in webpages | Jan 28 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | Do you know of any sites that have DRM encumbered videos I don't actually have to pay for? | Jan 28 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Pirate streaming sites work in Chromium without Widevine. | Jan 28 20:05 |
| danielp3344 | right | Jan 28 20:05 |
| danielp3344 | I'm trying to find a site that requires widevine, that I don't have to pay for | Jan 28 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So all these companies that adopt Widevine do is ensure that I will never subscribe to them. | Jan 28 20:06 |
| danielp3344 | ^ | Jan 28 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: Uh, it's basically like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon.... | Jan 28 20:06 |
| danielp3344 | I wonder if they have demos somewhere... | Jan 28 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've made themselves incompatible with my computer and web browser, so it seems awfully strange that they want me to pay for something I can't access. | Jan 28 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's Disney for you... | Jan 28 20:07 |
| danielp3344 | I'm still trying to figure out how widevine actually works | Jan 28 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, Disney treated their Disney+ victims to DRM errors even after they paid up. | Jan 28 20:08 |
| danielp3344 | and why more browsers dont just reverse engineer it | Jan 28 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's that. | Jan 28 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: Reversing DRM software is a felony, at least in the US. | Jan 28 20:08 |
| danielp3344 | we have libdvdccc | Jan 28 20:08 |
| danielp3344 | * we have libdvdcss | Jan 28 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And even if you're not in the US, you have to worry about that because.... | Jan 28 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you ever plan to set foot in the US, you can be arrested for it. | Jan 28 20:09 |
| danielp3344 | true.... | Jan 28 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It happened to that "DVDJon" guy for DeCSS. | Jan 28 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He made a program that unlocked DVDs by using an actual player's license file. | Jan 28 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | libdvdcss just brute forces every disc with possible keys until one of them works, and then it saves the one that worked in a cache folder. | Jan 28 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But Content Scramble System is based on 40-bit DES, so you can pop in a disc and it won't take more than a few seconds to find a working key. | Jan 28 20:11 |
| danielp3344 | Why don't we just write a patch for firefox or some other browser that just automatically saves widevine content to your downloads | Jan 28 20:11 |
| danielp3344 | :P | Jan 28 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, that is how some people have pirated stuff. | Jan 28 20:12 |
| danielp3344 | So there's no illusion that DRM actually works | Jan 28 20:12 |
