    Nvidia breaches the walls of Chrome


    Remembers your p*rn
    Nvidia fanboys can be safely assured that details of their visits to smut sites over the last two years have been lovingly recorded by their GPU.

    Tech blogger Evan Andersen said that he was shocked to see porn that he had been watching earlier appear on his screen when he launched Diablo III. To make matters worse the game temporarily froze as it launched, preventing any attempt to clear the screen.

    Admitting the comedy of the moment, Anderson wondered how on earth his computer remembered those images when he browsed using Chrome’s incognito mode.
    After doing some searching he found a bug in Nvidia’s GPU drivers. Apparently GPU memory is not erased before giving it to an application which allows the contents of one application to leak into another.
    While the Chrome incognito window was closed, its framebuffer was added to the pool of free GPU memory, but it was not erased. When Diablo requested a framebuffer of its own, Nvidia offered up the one previously used by Chrome. Since it wasn’t erased, it still contained the previous contents. Diablo should have cleaned the buffer itself but it didn’t and the result was that the old incognito window was put on the screen again.
    Anderson was able to reproduce the bug writing a program to scan GPU memory for non-zero pixels. It was able to reproduce a pages from the past.
    “Of course, it doesn’t always work perfectly, sometimes the images are rearranged. I think it has something to do with the page size of memory on a GPU,” he said.
    Basically though it allows non-root users to spy on each other and it can happen purely by accident. Anyone using a shared computer could be exposing anything displayed on their screen to other users of the computer.
    It should be super easy to fix right? A patch to the GPU drivers could ensure that buffers are always erased before giving them to the application.
    But Anderson told Nvida and Google about the bug two years ago. Nvidia acknowledged the problem, but hadn’t Google marked the bug as won’t fix because google chrome incognito mode is apparently not designed to protect you against other users on the same computer.

    Chrome and Firefox are about to get a lot faster thanks to Google's new data compression algorithm



    Google Chrome is about to get a lot faster, all thanks to a new algorithm called Brotli. Revealed by Google in September last year, the data compression algorithm is said to be 20 to 26 percent more efficient than Zopfli, the existing engine that was launched just over three years ago.
    It now looks as if Brotli, which Google is calling a “whole new data format,” will arrive on Chrome quite soon, according to a post by Google's web performance engineer Ilya Grigorik. No word yet on an exact date when this will happen, but it’s expected to be here in the next few weeks.
    While Brotli compresses HTML, JavaScript and CSS to allow for "better space utilization and faster page loads,” the biggest area of improvement in compression is said to be HTML, which the new code can squeeze down by 25%.
    Google says users should expect to see a noticeable increase in load times once the next version of Chrome is released. The company added that mobile users will also benefit from "lower data transfer fees and reduced battery use," which should help those who eat up their data allowance all too quickly.
    Google also hopes that other browsers will eventually support Brotli. It looks as if Firefox will be the first non-Chrome browser to use the algorithm, as it has said it will adopt Brotli in a future update.
    When Brotli was first announced, Google found itself unexpectedly caught up in a gender controversy for its plans to use a ‘.bro’ file extension, which some people, quite strangely, said came across as misogynistic and unprofessional. Google eventually changed the extension to ‘.br,’ and put out a statement that read: "there will be no '.bro' in Brotli.”
    Anyone using Chrome Canary, Google’s beta/developer version of Chrome, can access a Brotli demo link via Chrome://flags#enable-brotli.

    Google Releases Chrome 48 with Interesting Features

    Web browsers are typically on rapid release cycles so they can get features out frequently. The Web is changing on a constant basis to help it become an effective application platform, which is cross-compatible with competing implementations. A common complaint is that the cycle is to yield high version numbers for marketing, to give a false sense of maturity, but I'd expect that frequent, breaking changes are kind-of necessary to synchronize features between implementations. If Google lands a feature a month after Mozilla publishes a new version, should they really wait two years for their next one? Granted, they probably knew about it pre-release, but you get the idea. Also, even if the theory is true, artificially high version numbers is one of the most benign things a company could do.

    Some versions introduce some fairly interesting features, though. This one, Google Chrome 48, deprecates RC4 encryption for HTTPS, which forces web servers to use newer cyphers or they will fail to load.
    Another major one, and probably more interesting for our audience, is the introduction of VP9 to WebRTC. This video codec is Google's open competitor to H.265. At similar quality settings, VP9 will use about half of the bandwidth (or storage) as VP8. WebRTC is mostly used for video conferencing, but it's really an open platform for webcam, microphone, audio, video, and raw, peer-to-peer data connections. There are even examples of it being used to synchronize objects in multiplayer video games, which has nothing to do with video or audio streaming. I'm not sure what is possible with this support, but it might even lead to web applications that can edit video.
    Google Chrome 48 is available today. Also, as a related note, Firefox 44 should release next week with its own features, like experimental rendering of WebGL images offscreen and multi-threaded. The full changelog for Google Chrome 48 from Git is about 42 MB large and, ironically, tends to crash Firefox.

    Google Chrome to call out unencrypted websites

    Google is to add a new warning symbol to its Chrome browser, alerting the user whenever he or she visits a website on an unencrypted connection.

    Google has confirmed that it is to extend its crusade against unencrypted web traffic by prominently displaying a warning icon in the Chrome address bar when a connection is not encrypted.

    Advertising giant Google is gung-ho about encryption on the 'net. The company runs its own fork of the OpenSSL cryptographic library, BoringSSL, and in August 2014 announced a programme to encourage the adoption of TLS encryption by giving encrypted sites a boost to their search rankings over unencrypted equivalents. Now, the company is taking things a step further: adding a new icon to the Chrome address bar, a red cross over a padlock, to indicate that a connection is unencrypted.

    Presently, Chrome - along with most browsers - only shows a padlock icon when the connection is encrypted with TLS or SSL. The icon is modified in a variety of ways depending on the connection - green for verified certificates, with a warning cross if some content is loaded without encryption or if there is a problem with the certificate - but for connections which do not use encryption no icon is displayed at all. The change will see the padlock icon constantly visible, with an obvious warning cross overlaid for all unencrypted connections.

    The change, as with most things developed for Chrome, will begin with the open-source Chromium browser on which it is based, and goes back to a proposal for a transition plan for deployment in 2015. Now, it's time to make the shift: Vice reports from the Usenix Enigma security conference, held this week in San Fransico, that Google has everything ready to run and will be making an announcement on the go-live date for the shift soon. Thus far, none of the company's rivals have indicated whether or not they will follow suit in their own browsers.

    Google Chrome is set to get a redesign

    Ever since Android Lollipop, Google has been moving towards a new ‘material design’ with its software and now, it looks like Google Chrome will be following in that same direction over on the desktop. Screenshots of the redesigned version of Chrome began popping up over the weekend, showing off little tweaks to the way Chrome looks, with an overall ‘flatter’ design and new buttons for things like bookmarks.
    The newly designed Chrome will also feature a new incognito mode, which will use a ‘dark theme’. There will be a newly designed downloads page, a new Settings page with a better layout for options and a new extension page.


    The screenshots come from a report from The Next Web, which also notes that while Google’s new Chrome design is currently functional, we don’t know when it will roll out just yet. Perhaps it will arrive in the upcoming update that will help web pages load 25 percent faster.
    Google also recently updated Chrome for iOS, making pages load up to 75 percent faster. Those using Chrome OS will also soon be getting a redesigned media player.

    Get a Sneak Peak at Chrome’s New Material Design Makeover


    It is no secret that Google is planning to polish the UI of their popular web browser, to bring it in-line with the company’s material design aesthetic. As it turns out, the facelift could be here sooner than thought, with the latest stable version of Chrome featuring several optional features that allow some of the tweaks to be enabled early.
    The changes aren’t drastic, with the majority of the browser’s minimalist UI being very similar. Overall, icon borders have been thinned down and the bookmark icons have been switched from their old yellow ‘folder’ look to plain gray icons. The old ‘hamburger’ button used to view the menu has also been switched to 3 vertically arranged dots with a more dynamic visual when opened and closed. The address bar has also seen a reduction in its font size, along with a darker, more obvious icon for sites being securely accessed via HTTPS.
    Other parts of the browser have taken more significant changes, looking far more similar to the Material-style interface used in the Android operating system. The downloads menu separates each download as a card, with more obvious links for showing the download’s location and an ‘X’ button being present to remove the card. The settings menu’s overhaul brings in new fonts and colour to the page, with all of the settings being present on one page and links allowing the user to easily find the correct section. The toggle buttons and drop-down menus will also be instantly familiar to an Android user. Chrome’s PDF viewer has also been a part of the overhaul, with a new top bar and a set of circular buttons, both of which remain hidden until mouse movement towards them occurs.

    To try out these changes for yourself, head to chrome://flags in the browser and set the following drop-down boxes to Material: “Material design in the browser’s top chrome,” “Enable material UI for PDF,” and “Enable Material Design downloads.” Meanwhile, the preview for the Material Design settings menu can be found at chrome://md-settings.
    While these changes to Chrome are still in development and thus, still subject to change, it is nice to see Chrome home getting a facelift after so long. These aren’t the only changes planned for Chrome either, with a dark theme for incognito browsing, similar to that of the mobile version and a new video player interface. All of these changes and more could be ready to go live for as soon as Chrome 50, only two stable versions away.

    Google's 'Safe Browsing' To Begin Protecting Against Social Engineering Attacks

    Google announced that it will start blocking the so-called “social engineering attacks” through its “Safe Browsing” service. The type of attacks it will stop are things such as deceptive download buttons or image ads that try to trick you into installing malware-infected software.
    Safe Browsing is used by Google’s own Chrome browser, as well as Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s Safari browsers, which means over one billion people benefit from its protection. The service was initially built to block known malware-infected domains in order to stop the infections from spreading to other web users, as well as phishing sites that try to steal users’ personal information by looking like clones of real web sites.
    As Google’s Artificial Intelligence improves, services such as Safe Browsing can become better at recognizing dangerous code on the Web and protect users more effectively without too many false positives (that is, blocking things that shouldn’t be blocked).
    Social engineering is one of the most effective ways to “hack” someone’s personal information and getting their passwords, credit card numbers, phone numbers and so on. Google’s Safe Browsing will consider social engineering ads when they either:

    • Pretend to act, or look and feel, like a trusted entity — like your own device or browser, or the website itself.
    • Try to trick you into doing something you’d only do for a trusted entity — like sharing a password or calling tech support.
    This can include an ad that says some software in your system needs an “update:”
    It can also include ads that say it’s necessary to install a certain software before you continue:
    Finally, it also includes the much-maligned fake download buttons, which are usually hard to distinguish from the real download or play buttons, even by more experienced Web users.
    Google said that its fight against social engineering attacks is merely just starting and that it will continue to improve the service to increase the kind of protection Web users need.
    Google also said that if web developers' websites are flagged by the service, they can troubleshoot them with the Search Console.

    Google is Dropping Flash Display Adverts


    Adobe’s Flash is commonly used stream video content on various services including YouTube, DailyMotion and more! However, the software plugin has a fairly terrible reputation for being unstable, and causing web browsers to freeze. As a result, websites began to slowly move towards HTML5 integration which provides a better user-experience. Today, Google AdWords released a statement regarding the future of flash adverts which reads:
    “Over the last few years, we’ve rolled out tools to encourage advertisers to use HTML5, so you can reach the widest possible audience across screens (http://goo.gl/nWHctK). To enhance the browsing experience for more people on more devices, the Google Display Network and DoubleClick Digital Marketing are now going 100% HTML5:
    – Starting June 30th, 2016, display ads built in Flash can no longer be uploaded into AdWords and DoubleClick Digital Marketing.
    – Starting January 2nd, 2017, display ads in the Flash format can no longer run on the Google Display Network or through DoubleClick.
    It’s important to update your display ads^ to HTML5 before these dates.
    AdWords advertisers who currently use Flash ads in their campaigns have several easy ways to ensure your creative can continue to show on the Google Display Network. Read more here: https://goo.gl/ZBq5DR
    ^Video ads built in Flash will not be impacted at this time.”
    As you can see, Google is really increasing its stance to push HTML5 as the industry standard and making Flash obsolete. This is inevitable and only a matter of time because of the way consumers perceive Flash. It’s no longer acceptable to deal with bugs, crashing and a sub-par plugin on modern browsers. I highly doubt anyone is going to be overly concerned if Flash is completely disposed of and HTML5 is already used as the default format on various websites including YouTube.
    Have you experienced problems using Adobe’s Flash?

    Google Experimenting With Recommended Articles in Chrome


    When people hear search engine there are a few that jump out at them, with many instantly going straight to Google. The popular search engine has helped create everything from the web browser Chrome to self-driving cars. One of their latest endeavours will be to recommend articles directly into your web browser.
    Currently still in testing, the new feature is not available for public use or even beta but would see a list of articles recommended based on your most-visited sites. Recommended articles would appear on the new tab page for their Chrome browser, meaning that opening up a new tab could bring to a site you never even thought about visiting before.
    Currently, the feature can only be uncovered by reading the tickets on Chromium Code reviews, something which VentureBeat has done with amazing detail. Amongst the discovered tickets the feature (currently known as “ChromeReader” or “Morning Reads”) uses a hard coded set of search parameters, meaning that everyone would see the same results no matter what they visit or see. This will obviously be changed before its release and would be required for the “snippets” to become something most people would use.
    Snippets would include everything from a few words in the header to a brief description, with recommended features being changing how often they would fetch snippets and information based on how much power your device has or what time of the day it is.
    There is no knowing what you might find on the internet, sometimes a quick ten minutes at your computer can turn into 20 minutes of YouTube videos of cats playing music before you realise what you were originally going to do.
    Do you think that a new feature like this would help you? Would it just be a gimmick to give Chrome another feature on an already impressive arsenal?

    Chrome Extension Caught Stealing Bitcoin From Users

    There happens to be an extension out there that alters the QR code of a bitcoin payment’s destination. Naturally, it’s still up on the Chrome Web Store.


    The extension's name is BitcoinWisdom Ads Remover and is a Chrome extension that removes ads from the BitcoinWisdom.com, a website for consulting all kinds of Bitcoin-related statistics, all presented in easy-to-understand charts. According to Bitstamp, a website that lets users exchange Bitcoin for US dollars, this extension contains malicious code that is redirecting payments to its own Bitcoin address, instead of the one intended by the user making the transaction.

    Chrome extension integrates YouTube gameplay videos into Steam site


    A handy new extension is now available for Chrome users known to browse Steam from time to time. It's called Fair Steam and it saves you the trouble of looking up gameplay videos from YouTubers by integrating their videos directly into the Steam website. The videos available on a given game page are determined by an algorithm that prizes gameplay-heavy, personality-light videos, so you just get the meat. As of now, there are 13491 videos in the database, with more added daily.




    A few notes: more features are planned for Fair Steam, though they are not known yet. For now, the focus is on gameplay videos; if you're in the minority and don't use Chrome, Firefox and Opera versions are coming soon; for those that use Enhanced Steam extension, Fair Steam is compatible with it.

    To download it, head this way.

    Material design expected to hit Chrome in April, sneak peek inside

    The long-anticipated Material design changes to Chrome are nearing the finish line and are now expected to launch April 8 with Chrome 51



    With it, you can expect a translucent top bar, a tab bar that adapts to the colours (or video) behind it on OS X, an all-black Incognito mode (which supports themes), fresh developer tools that allow for a dark mode and appearance tweaking, among other changes. Yet more may come with the development time between now and launch.



    If you want to try out some of the changes now, download the latest Chrome beta here.

    Gaming in Your Browser is About to Get Interesting With WebAssembly


    WebAssembly, it may be something that most of you have never really heard of, but it’s going to have a huge impact on the way we use or web browsers. WebAssembly is a compiling technology, which is capable of bringing browser output closer to that of native machine code; not even the best JavaScript compilers come anywhere near it in terms of performance.
    Luke Wagner, a Mozilla developer, helped reveal the new additions as Mozilla Hacks this week, while also confirming the availability of WebAssembly ports of Unity’s Angry Bots. The game can now be played on a Chrome, Firefox, Edge and even Safari will be joining the party soon enough.
    Below you’ll find a video released by Microsoft that shows the Angry Bots running in Edge using the Chakra engine via WebAssembly.
    ‘Despite being an early implementation, the demo starts-up significantly faster than just using asm.js as the WebAssembly binaries have a smaller file size and parse more quickly than plain JavaScript that needs to be parsed in the asm.js case.’ said Chakra Program Manager Limin Zhu.
    The new format for native web applications supports all the functionality enabled by the asm.js JavaScript subset. Rather than replace Java, it’ll simply expand on what was already possible seamlessly, while allowing more direct access to processor instruction sets, and many other benefits.
    ‘Two upcoming changes will also significantly improve the developer experience. A standard textual representation of WebAssembly will enable developers to view the source of a WebAssembly binary like any other web script or resource. In addition, the current placeholder Wasm object will be redesigned to provide a more powerful, idiomatic set of methods and properties to instantiate and introspect WebAssembly modules from JavaScript.’ said V8 Java, while announcing their collaboration with WebAssembly.



    So what does this mean for most users? Not much in technical terms, but it’s already leading to faster performance, more features and more functionality for or browsers and web applications, which is certainly no bad thing.

    Google Is Killing off the Chrome App Launcher


    In an effort to make Chrome as light and as less bloated as possible, Google has decided to completely remove the Chrome App Launcher from Linux, Apple and Microsoft operating systems, which means that you’re in for quite a shock if you’re used to launching Google apps from the App Launcher directly. Fortunately, the App Launcher will remain in place on Chrome OS, so there’s that at least. Apparently, the removal will take place steadily over the next few months, and the launcher will lose its ability to install new apps within the next few weeks. The feature will be killed off completely in July, which is three years after it was introduced for Microsoft Windows in the first place.
    In order to make sure that this change won’t catch too many users by surprise, Google says that it will notify all of the launcher’s fans of this big change. Last summer, Chrome was stripped of its notification center in a similar effort to make the user’s experience better. We can all hope that the removal of the App Launcher will make Chrome lighter and less resource hungry, but I have to say that the decision doesn’t make too much sense to me as this component is actually optional.

    Boa noite,

    Pena que não matem o browser de cima abaixo. Exterminar mesmo essa coisa. Se o IE era considerado um cancro da internet este é o seu sucessor no trono.

    Cumprimentos.
