@Ruarí Nice, Thanks

Ruarí

@DoctorG Before you ask. The snapshot has the fix and so do the sopranos builds.

DoctorG

@Ruarí LOL. You had much luck, i wanted to nag you in a few seconds in team chat – and now? You disappointed a ol' dragon.
SCNR.

Hahaha, if hope my nasty Standalone install will update in a few minutes or latest time on tomorrow morning.

Laptop is off, nobody will try to drag something in it on location nor virtually so i will just put an ax next to it. 🪓

@Ruarí Thanks in advance

Just checked for Linux updates and didn't find it yet

Ruarí

@lfisk what distro and what package did you install?

lfisk

@Ruarí Debian 12 and stable. It's been working fine for some time now. No big deal, I can work around it by downloading it separately. Only reason I mention this is wondering if you'd missed something on your end

Thank you, Ruari and Vivaldi!

Ruarí

@lfisk Ok I see the issue. Try now.

Ruarí

@lfisk: It was a problem our side. But I am pretty confident it should be fixed for yu now.

What's an unexpected object?

DoctorG

@Levrini I guess that vulnerability will be explained much later when users had safely updated their browser.

Am I missing something here, or are private windows not forgetting everything they should? I swear this didn't used to happen, but I don't know when it started, exactly. It does happen in this release, however.

Ctrl-Shift-N to open a private window
Login to the site of your choice
Close that window
Ctrl-Shift-N again
Revisit the above site. I think you'll find that you're still logged in.

@rseiler I can confirm the behaviour in the latest Snapshot, which does not seem unreasonable.
