Subject: bug#49029: ungoogled-chromium failed to disable malware extension The Great Suspender
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 18:29:03 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k0mwdtk0.fsf@disroot.org> (raw)
Hi. I use Guix atop Debian¹ testing (currently bullseye).
I normally browse the web on GNU IceCat and sometimes Firefox and
Emacs EWW. I only use (ungoogled-)chromium for the rare websites that
don't work on the other browsers. Long ago I installed in Chromium the
extension The Great Suspender, and only today (months after G$$gle
Chrome, according to news articles) did my Chromium disable it for
having malware. And the only Chromium that did that for me was
Debian's.
So, I hypothesize that the ungoogling process has disabled Chromium's
ability to automatically disable malware extensions. If true, that is a
serious defect of ungoogled-chromium and Guix should make sure that
users at least know about it. There could be a warning in the Guix
package description *and* on the browser's start page.
Thank you for your work on GNU!
Regards
¹ When I find the time I intend to migrate to PureOS for superior libre
software ethics.
