Google will end support for Chrome Web Store apps starting this year Zachary ## Board Volunteer 01/16/20 (Thu) 03:19:49 No.251616

One of the first articles I wrote here at Android Police was about how Google planned to phase out apps from the Chrome Web Store, believing Progressive Web Apps to be the future. Fast forward three years, and while I'm still hanging around this lovely site, Chrome Web Store apps aren't long for this world.

One upon a time, the Chrome Web Store offered "packaged" applications (web apps that ran locally, sometimes with elevated permissions), "hosted" applications (web apps that were just links to websites), and regular browser extensions. Google phased out all types of apps across all platforms, except Chrome OS, in early 2018. In fact, if you visit the Web Store on anything but a Chromebook, the apps section is invisible.

Who in their right minds still use that botnet called Google Chrome?

TOR: https://www.torproject.org/

BRAVE: https://brave.com/

DISSENTER: https://dissenter.com/

EPIC: https://www.epicbrowser.com/

IRIDIUM: https://iridiumbrowser.de/

OTHERS: https://archive.md/dgGFZ

PS: Tor should upend using Firefox with their platform and switch to a more privacy friendly watered-down version called Waterfox. Waterfox is like Firefox but has some of the absolute junk removed for user privacy. I think Waterfox also disables telemetry by default too (double check about:config to make sure).

1) Start using a private VPN, download & start connecting to Tor.

[ torproject.org/ + torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-services-keep-you-anonymous-in-2019 ]

2) Go to about:config in Tor's url bar, press Enter, press 'I accept the risk!'

3) Disable webgl, webgl2 and webrtc and remove any urls associated to these protocols

[ you can learn all this @ privacytools.io/classic/ + other online tutorials all over the web ]

4) Disable telemetry and remove any urls associated to telemetry services

[ you can learn all this @ askvg.com/tip-disable-telemetry-and-data-collection-in-mozilla-firefox-quantum ]

5) Make sure you have HTTPS Everywhere, Noscript and Chameleon add-ons installed

[ HTTPS Everywhere encrypts website traffic ]

[ Noscript blocks *most* third party scripts ]

[ Chameleon can spoof tons of browser metadata with many more privacy settings if used correctly ]

6) Now visit browserleaks.com/ & do all web browser tests

[ IP should be spoofed ]

[ Browser Agent, GET requests & IP Referers should be spoofed ]

[ WebGL & WebGL2 should be disabled, not comply ]

[ WebRTC should be disabled, not comply ]

[ Location API should not work / Geolocation & most other APIs should show up false ]

OK Done! You are not so easily tracked anymore.

Their web store was a neglected and mismanaged ghost town.

I like how I contradicted myself there. Neglected for the most part, but when it wasn't neglected, it was mismanaged by some nitwit who was taking a list of adblockers, video downloaders, or politically incorrect apps and removing them if they harmed the oh so precious google site, could download youtube videos, or made google look like anything but a soy filled shithole.

Waterfox claims to disable telemetry although you could be right, one should check to make sure that is legit.

Another link to checkout, which has a link to Pale Moon: http://thereisonlyxul.org/

Pale Moon ranks pretty well with spyware.neocities and they claim to have removed telemetry and WebRTC completely. Maybe Tor should switch to using the Pale Moon browser.

Pale moon IS better. Can confirm having used it, Waterfox, & nightly W Session manager holding 1000+ Tabs of fucking porn, PM is the one that NEVER Seems to crash with that kinda pressure- thanks in part to lull the tabs, even with older devices like a shitty DELL Pentium 4000 from eons ago, this fucking badboy could hold it's own better than soysoftware like NU-Firefox, Nightly Chrome, Opera, Safari, or any other RAM-guzzling browser. The only issues it's had are it's security bust where some jackass fucked up older releases of the software a few months back, and it occasionally get's fucked with Nu-soy Internet sites like facebook and certaiin features of google etc… bascally, don't expect to use things like AIDungeon on it.

Here's a picture of my addons, all are privacy gold IMO, as well as fucking mandatory, Ematrix Ublock and Secret agent do a lot of the same stuff, and a merit of Secret agent is that it's borderline TOR protection and should be integrated with it.

Anyway, it's excellent for toasters, and modern computers, as well as the ultimate COOMER browser. The Homepage it starts with has most of the stuff a normie would want, but signing up to it as a serivce grants youthe ability to make your very own browser start homepage hub. My version has addons used to shrink the toolbars as much as possible to maximize space for the best masturbatory experience I can get on my toaster, and it's as familar as old-school firefox too.

Honestly, I really cannot stress how fast PM is- no needless aesthetic overload garbage, just a plain, good Browser.

Your only issue installing is the use of script injectors like Greasemonkey, setting it up was a bit of cockwank in the past, but it's easier, now that a fork is available for the platform.

Additionally, thanks to the new-age of Non-flash, there are multiple addons beign developed to superceed Adobe flash, which can also be used with the program, so you can uninstall old on HDD Flash instances and just roll with things, lightweight and toaster mode.

One more thing is that Secretagent really shows you how much datagoblin BS is in todays modern webpages, completely fucking fucked, the tubes are all clogged like fat in sewers- there's nothing more awful than fiddling with Ematirx, Ublock and Secret agent and seeing just how much you have to give up nowadays to use a simple service, in both HDD space, cookies, addons, and constant needless syncing to IPs that watch your every move.

Ah right, how could I forget? You can get it from the classic Mozzila addons archive, & it's extension, if I recall, works fine.

Do all chromium browsers tend to eat up RAM like it's breakfast or is that just google?

maybe create alternate browser that's fast but doesn't eat up RAM like Chrom does

Some alt chromium browsers do although not so much as Google Chrome. You can always go with Tor or something like Falkon or Palemoon. So far those have not been a problem with me. Although, note that it also depends what OS you use as far as stability goes to. I would never use something like Winblows 10 because it is full of bloatware. Even Windows 7 is shit, unless you remove/uninstall a lot of the third party bloatware and unnecessary services. Most would say just use Linux though, but it depends what kind of Linux at this point (even some of the newer linux systems are loaded with bloatware today). So choose your OS wisely and consider removing anything unnecessary in the OS to make it run better, faster and more stable.

Smartphone fags absolutely RUINED our internet and I think that's one of the major problems is all this junk that newer web services add is to make it smartphonefag-friendly.

I seem to get by this hassle pretty well as I have installed multiple browsers on my OS. Each browser I dedicated to different activities. For shitposting here I use Tor with a few about:config tweaks and a metadata spoofer. If I want to watch videos online I'll use Epic or Falkon. If I want to read the news or visit other sites for info I'll use Waterfox. This way, no matter what, I have something that will work for anything (and by departmentalizing web activity it adds to user anonymity).
