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.

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.

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.

Dear JS ecosystem, I love you, but you have a dependency management problem when it comes to the Web, and the time has come for an intervention. No, this is not another rant about npm's security issues. Abstraction is the cornerstone of modern software engineering. Reusing logic and building higher-level solutions from lower-level building blocks is what makes all the technological wonders around us possible. Imagine if every time anyone wrote a calculator they also had to reinvent floating-point arithmetic and string encoding!

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.

Ever since the Opera browser introduced Workspaces, it's been my go-to browser for staying seriously organized. When you have 50 tabs open, they can badly crowd your browser window, so Workspaces has become a must-have feature for any browser I use. Opera does workspaces better than any other browser. Also: Opera's sidebar upgrade makes it easier to access your favorite apps - here's how Soon, Opera (aka Opera One) will add even more features to help you become better organized, more creative, and more productive.

A JavaScript script saved as a bookmark is called a 'bookmarklet,' although some people also use the term 'favelet' or 'favlet.' Bookmarklets have been around since the late 90s. The site that coined them, bookmarklets.com, even remains around today. They're simple and versatile, a fact evidenced by most of the bookmarklets listed on the aforementioned site are still working today despite being untouched for over two decades.

The tools were designed to intercept users' ChatGPT session authentication tokens and send them to a remote server, but they don't exploit ChatGPT vulnerabilities to do so. Instead, they inject a content script into chatgpt.com and execute it in the MAIN JavaScript world. The script monitors outbound requests initialized by the web application, to identify and extract authorization headers and send them to a second content script, which exfiltrates them to the remote server.

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.
