Thank you, #Microsoft, for sharing how many #Google services are looming in the #Chrome/#Chromium browser. I hope all projects that use Chromium take note and also start removing these. (slide was presented at BlinkOn conference)

@wrenpile @jwildeboer I'm guessing it simply goes to the Chromium-equivalent of detectportal.firefox.com/succe….

@wrenpile @clacke @jwildeboer Yes, that's what it's supposed to do.Captive portals are the things that public wifi uses, to make you agree to terms of service, sign in, and/or pay for service - they work by intercepting connections and redirecting them to their own service.So, nowadays, everyone detects captive portals by having their browsers and OSes check their own sites for a message, to see if they get redirected.

@wrenpile @clacke @jwildeboer I also suspect, in Microsoft's specific use of Chromium, they would've removed it entirely - no point when Windows has its own captive portal test built in.

@jwildeboer What they don't say is which of these they are replacing with their own even worse components that invade your privacy. 😐 Oh well, this is good though. Maybe someone will make a Chromium based browser that doesn't have Google garbage in it and nothing that invades user privacy.

@jwildeboer Why is it good that Microsoft turned off "Safe Browsing, Speech Input, Ad blocking, spellcheck, extension store (To replace it with their own), Domain reliability,"???

@maverynthia @jwildeboer Reliance on Google, feeding Google. Of course in MSFT's case they're just replacing Google with themselves, but for anyone wanting to degooglify their life, this is valuable information.

@jwildeboer They probably just took Ungoogled Chromium and slapped their own spyware on top of it.Nothing new has been learned

@bhtooefr @wrenpile @clacke @jwildeboer FYI, Electron doesn’t use any of these services because it doesn’t wrap the //chrome layer, it wraps //content.

@jwildeboerNo Chrome or Chromium fork removed all Google shit yet. Maybe Edge is first which got it.Anyway don't believe other forks follow Microsoft in this way.Firefox ftw

@bhtooefr @wrenpile @clacke @jwildeboer worth pointing out here that wifi has an existing standard (IEEE 802.11u-2011) for notifying clients that it's a captive portal, giving them an appropriate login URL and all. Browsers are just universally crap.

@flussence @bhtooefr @jwildeboer @wrenpile The standard is in response to the captive portals in the wild, and most of them remain unchanged.Having a dedicated non-TLS endpoint to query is a huge improvement over just going to google.com and failing on the cert, as my old Androids do.
