If you downvote something, you can explain why.

https://gofile.io/d/PDl7oC (You can watch it without downloading it) Here is a video about Chrome, Chromium, and Brave. I really should test this across multiple user accounts, since I’ve read that this can also expose data from other user accounts. In any case, for the demonstration, I used a string to perform a targeted search. After the browser was closed, the cache should have been cleared, but that didn’t happen.
(Windows users can ask ChatGPT: “How can I create a memory dump from my browser in Windows and search it for strings?” it should be easy too without thirdparty tools )
(On Linux, simply run
sudo gcore $(pidof BROWSERNAME)
strings core.* | grep STRINGReplace BROWSERNAME and STRING)
PS: Please excuse my typos in the video—it’s still early in the morning. 🤣

Not today. But I could take some screenshots and record a video tomorrow.

HoneypotOS Fresh on hardware with undocumented instruction sets, etc. It continues to use the mobile network with SS7, etc. Securephones (cryptophones) are banned for reason Copyfail and well… honeypotOS

Chrome chromium and any chromium based browser has the passwords as plaintext in dumps problem… sadly all talking just about edge or the AI model. Scared about privacy but not about plaintext passwords 🤣

Thats wrong.
The person only tested it on Edge, and the media just copied it verbatim. But it works with any Chrome or Chromium-based browser. You can test it very easily. Launch the browser, save a random password in the built-in password manager, then close the browser. When you open the browser again, just create a dump and then search for the strings. It’s supposed to work across user accounts as well. I haven’t tested that yet, though.

They just chuckle to themselves and think: “These idiots have forgotten about things like SS7 and mobile networks in general… or triangulation… and that methods like UXDT still exist.” The safe way to handle any Android device is to assume it’s compromised from the start and not trust it at all—everything else is just a smokescreen. Why do you think cryptophones are being taken off the market, but pure software solutions are still allowed… What about the hardware… undocumented instruction sets, etc., etc. You can’t trust either the software or the hardware… Oh yeah, the devs say everything’s fine… but users completely forget about possibilities like NDAs…

There are still people who think Idiocracy is a movie… but it was just a documentary.

Yeah, okay, when it came to Mullvad, I made a huge mistake in my thinking regarding data retention within the EU.
