Site isolation was considered to be resource intensive [7] due to an increase in the amount of memory space taken up by the processes. [30] This performance overhead was reflected in real world implementations as well. [31] Chrome's implementation of site isolation on average took one to two cores more than the same without site isolation. [7]
On Linux, Google Chrome/Chromium can store passwords in three ways: GNOME Keyring, KWallet or plain text. Google Chrome/Chromium chooses which store to use automatically, based on the desktop environment in use. [144] Passwords stored in GNOME Keyring or KWallet are encrypted on disk, and access to them is controlled by dedicated daemon software.
Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, primarily developed and maintained by Google. [3] It is a widely-used codebase, providing the vast majority of code for Google Chrome and many other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, and Opera.
A site-specific browser (SSB) is a software application that is dedicated to accessing pages from a single source (site) on a computer network such as the Internet or a private intranet. SSBs typically simplify the more complex functions of a web browser by excluding the menus, toolbars and browser GUI associated with functions that are ...
If the browser encountered a page specifying an ActiveX control via an OBJECT tag (the OBJECT tag was added to the HTML 3.2 specification by Charlie Kindel, the Microsoft representative to the W3C at the time [8]) it would automatically download and install the control with little or no user intervention. This made the web "richer" but provoked ...
Google Native Client is a sandbox for running compiled C and C++ code in the browser efficiently and securely, independent of the user's operating system. [ 13 ] Capability systems can be thought of as a fine-grained sandboxing mechanism, in which programs are given opaque tokens when spawned and have the ability to do specific things based on ...
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is a legacy software utility for the Microsoft Windows operating system designed to solve installation problems of apps that use the Windows Installer technology. An app whose Windows Installer entries are damaged cannot be uninstalled or reinstalled via the normal means.
Browser isolation technologies approach this model in different ways, but they all seek to achieve the same goal, effective isolation of the web browser and a user's browsing activity as a method of securing web browsers from browser-based security exploits, as well as web-borne threats such as ransomware and other malware.
