Lazy loading is a technique that defers loading some of the heavier elements of a page until the lighter ones are loaded, allowing users to start interacting with the content sooner.

"I *really* don't think i486 class hardware is relevant any more," Torvalds said in 2022, noting that while some people may still operate 486 systems they aren't relevant from a kernel development standpoint. "At some point, people have them as museum pieces. They might as well run museum kernels."

The first vulnerability, CVE-2026-4673, is a heap buffer overflow issue in WebAudio that earned the reporting researcher a $7,000 bug bounty reward. Google has yet to determine the bounty amount for CVE-2026-4677, another bug reported by the same researcher.

CVE-2026-3909 is an out-of-bounds write flaw in Skia, the graphics library Chrome uses to render web content and parts of its user interface. Memory corruption bugs like this can sometimes be abused by attackers to crash applications or run their own code if successfully exploited.

Apple's $599 price point ($499 with the education discount) undeniably makes it much easier for more people to get their hands on a Mac. For years, Apple's laptops have been associated with high price tags, which meant consumers looking for something cheaper had to turn to Windows PCs or Chromebooks. With the Neo, all that has changed.

The first is that the UI is highly customizable. One of my favorite customizations is the ability to move the search bar to the bottom of the window, which makes it much easier to use Opera with one hand. The second is that Opera has a built-in AI tool called Aria, and it is pretty fantastic. Aria was the first AI tool I used, and I often use it before any other service.

I do not want AI in my web browser. I just don't. I also don't want companies collecting information about me, or sponsored content and product integrations. All those bits make me want to pull my hair out. I like my privacy and want to browse, you know, the old-fashioned way. I do use AI (on occasion), but only locally-installed AI and only for specific purposes (such as learning Python or researching a topic when I don't want to use a standard search engine).

Chrome leads the market today, but Google is still under pressure to defend that position as the browser landscape shifts. New AI-focused browsers like Comet are raising the stakes for what users expect from a browser. Google responded to the competition with Gemini in Chrome. Launched in September 2025, it first rolled out for Android, Mac, and Windows users. Combining Chrome's superiority and Gemini's advanced intelligence, Google offered Chrome users a different kind of AI browser.

On those rare occasions when I use AI, I always opt for a local version. Most often, that comes in the form of Ollama installed on a desktop or laptop. I've been leery of using cloud-based AI for some time now for several reasons: It consumes vast amounts of energy. There's no way to be certain it honors privacy claims. I don't want any of my queries or data to be used for training LLMs.

Google on Tuesday announced the release of Chrome 145 to the stable channel with fixes for 11 vulnerabilities, including three high-severity bugs. First in line is CVE-2026-2313, a high-severity use-after-free issue in CSS that earned the reporting researchers an $8,000 bug bounty reward. The two other high-severity defects, tracked as CVE-2026-2314 and CVE-2026-2315, were found and reported by Google and are described as a heap buffer overflow in Codecs and an inappropriate implementation in WebGPU, respectively.
