To help users browse the web safely, Chrome indicates connection security with an icon in the address bar. Historically, Chrome has not explicitly labelled HTTP connections as non-secure. Beginning in January 2017 (Chrome 56), we’ll mark HTTP pages that collect passwords or credit cards as non-secure, as part of a long-term plan to mark all HTTP sites as non-secure.

In January, we began our quest to improve how Chrome communicates the connection security of HTTP pages. Chrome now marks HTTP pages as “Not secure” if they have password or credit card fields. Beginning in October 2017, Chrome will show the “Not secure” warning in two additional situations: when users enter data on an HTTP page, and on all HTTP pages visited in Incognito mode.

The purpose of Instart Logic technology is to disguise 3rd-party requests as 1st-party requests, thus bypassing content blockers, and even the ability of browsers to block 3rd-party cookies (because they are stored as 1st-party cookies)

Note: The extension is useful only for Chromium-based browsers. There is no need for such an extension so far on Firefox, and thus there is no version for Firefox.

• Chromium-based browsers do not support user styles
• Chromium-based browsers can’t block data URI-based requests through the webRequest API.
• Chromium-based browsers are being “infested” by Instart Logic tech which works around blockers and worst, around browser privacy settings (they may start “infecting” Firefox eventually, but that is not happening now).
• I am not aware of any anti-fingerprinting initiative taken up with Chromium, unlike with Firefox.
• Etc.

There is much more I could list here. It baffles me that some people thinks Firefox is becoming a “Chrome clone”, it’s just not the case, it’s just plain silly to make such statement.

Quelques mots rapides pour prévenir d'une faiblesse dans les navigateurs Firefox et Chrome pour leurs versions actuelles (respectivement 52 et 57.) : il s'agit d'un problème avec l'usage de l'unicode dans l'enregistrement de domaines permettant de faire passer ceux-ci pour d'autres domaines. Firefox et Chrome n'y voit que du feu.

Un système intégré par défaut

The next version of Chrome, Chrome 57, will permanently enable the browser's DRM plugin and will not allow users to disable it. Users won't be able to disable the PDF viewer and the Native Client plugin either.

Google over the past year or so has been slowly pushing Flash out the back door in favor of HTML5, a far superior technology that improves security, reduces power consumption and leads to faster load times. With Chrome 55 having…

Impressive. Chrome doesn't work at all if it can't access Google services. "Don't be evil" yeah right
