Re: Chromium 57 on ED Jessie on N900
 

I haven't been able to find much information on kiosk mode but from what I can tell it is exactly that: a mode designed to run Chromium for public kiosks/terminals, normally intended to run a single website or web app. In other words, start the browser automatically, run full screen and hide all controls (buttons, menus, etc) from the user. Any additional security layers that it provides would be to protect from someone with physical access to the device and it makes little sense to use it for general web browsing on a device you own. There might be a slight memory advantage as it doesn't load user controls.

For something like Chromium, I probably wouldn't bother using Firejail. The Chromium developers are very hot on security and it's already heavily sandboxed. They already do system call filtering with seccomp-bpf (if the kernel provides it) and I'm pretty sure they already drop unneeded capabilities. Don't forget that excessive sandboxing can break stuff. Google know their product better than the Firejail developer so I would just trust them on this one.

Oki. Gonna update instruction according and remove information concerning using firejail with chromium. Gonna also move information about kiosk mode after I try it with what I need. For some reasonh I still think there could be benefit of using it.

NOW ...
That is exactly the right perspective Maemish.
Always follow that credo with our nxx0's
"For some reasonh I still think there could be benefit of using it."

one never knows what one or another or a bunch of folks may come up with as a consequence of what we find.
What may not work right now...may work in the future due to someone finding something that makes the difference...
Or...
what one works on now...even though it is decided as inconclusive ...as a result at that time...
may in fact enable some minor or major understanding or breakthrough in some other endeavour completely different from what was started on.

Keep that philo in mind ...and all things open and all possible viable and all options credible...
as you peer at problems and puzzles here..
and tinker away...

So...stop the "trying" to fit in...
Just keep at it ...
and by default..
you are as Maemoan as it gets.

Should I now then change my name again? Not anymore Maemish but a real Maemoan? Naa, I have started to like it. You are like a priest who baptized me and gave me a name. I will carry it proudly.

Re: Chromium 57 on ED Jessie on N900
 

Instructions updated and corrected.

argh...
no...nononono....
terrible terrible hardly a priest baptizing ...

more like a minor imp ...tempting you down the road to eternal Maemation ...
