(The 'normal user' thing, y'know?) This being the case, every related thing has to have spot permissions.even sym-links, believe it or not! Chrome is the only one - aside from its 'parent' Chromium, that is - that point blank refuses to run as anything other than spot. Try as I might, I couldn't see a way round this. This is the start of the regular 'portable' release threads.and it's rather appropriate that it should be the one that really got me interested in the concept all those months ago.Ĭhanges, alterations, etc, can be found at the Google Chrome 'blog':-įollowing a fair bit of head-scratching and experimenting/suck-it-and-see type stuff, Google_Chrome-portable finally is truly 'portable'.Įarlier versions insisted on putting all the config & cache stuff into the /root/spot directory. The permanent download URL for Chrome-portable will be found at the bottom of THIS post. PLEASE NOTE: For details about the newest/current release, please always refer to the last post in the thread (or thereabouts). There's a limit to how much I can build into the portable before the size becomes prohibitive.and it's awkward trying to cater for an OS that I don't use myself. Slacko users will have to load the devx just for the duration, then unload afterwards. The ones I've provided for are the most commonly-used 'buntu-based Pups. I apologise for the fact that this doesn't cater for every single Puppy out there, including the percentage of Puppy users who swear by the Slackos as their daily driver. However, to save needing to load/unload the thing just for the updater, I've now included versions of 'ar' and its single dependency for Tahrpup, Xenialpup, Bionicpup & Fossapup, built-in to the portable. Normally, this is found within the devX SFS package that comes with every Pup. The ChromeOS 116 release is scheduled for August 22.FOR YOUR INFORMATION :- Please note that for the new updater script in current versions of Chrome-portable to work, the 'ar' utility is required. This update would especially benefit Chromebooks, extending the netbooks far longer than their typical software lifespan. Google also recently announced its plans to enable separate Chrome browser support for ChromeOS as of the ChromeOS 116 release. Google stated it now tackles “all critical and high severity bugs as if they will be exploited.”Įven so, the brand has come to see n-day exploits as just as dangerous as zero-day exploits, which are vulnerabilities that were previously unknown and therefore unaddressed with a patch or update. There is also the possibility that the frequency of security updates could eventually truncate even more, with patches being deployed as soon as they’re available. Over time, there is also the likelihood that bad actors will find ways to create faster exploits. In practice, more frequent security updates offer less time for bad actors to exploit flaws that require detailed paths and more development time. The brand noted this latest schedule still won’t deter all n-day exploits but can minimize them further. It then shifted to a biweekly update schedule with the release of Chrome 77. Google first observed this to be an issue in 2020 when its patch gap between updates was approximately 35 days. Usually, the time between security updates is used for testing prior to a public release. This is why Google hopes shortening the time between security updates can assist in deterring nefarious users from gaining information about vulnerabilities in Chromium code. If taken advantage of, such an attack is called an n-day exploitation. This openness is double-edged however, as bad actors have the same access as good-faith users, allowing them real-time details on vulnerabilities before updates are deployed to a wide range of public users. Typically, community members from Google’s Canary and Beta channels notify the brand of various issues of stability, compatibility, or performance that can be addressed before stable updates are sent to the public. With the open-source nature of Chromium, anyone is able to access the Chrome browser source code, “submit changes for review, and see the changes made by anyone else, even security bug fixes,” Google said on its security blog.
