There exists an extension[1] for Google Chrome that enables the management of GNOME Shell extensions on extensions.gnome.org. I am currently reworking some of the details around how the fedora-chromium-config package works and I would like to know:
Would the Workstation WG be in favor of me adding a fedora-chromium-config-gnome subpackage that would automatically install the GNOME Shell Integration extension for Chrome/Chromium browsers? I can make its installation conditional on the presence of gnome-shell on the system if preferred.
I'd be fine with it. And yeah, making it conditional on GNOME Shell would make sense.
Of the other changes I'm looking at making:
- Enable Chrome's auto-detection of DNS-over-HTTPS. It ships as
disabled by default in Chrome currently, but it can be set to an 'auto' mode that will prefer DoH if it can determine that the DNS server supports it.
This breaks corporate VPNs very hard, so probably not.
- Drop the user-agent extension. Ever since the advent of Chrome
v100, various sites (particularly those that rely on Cloudflare[2] such as Gitlab.com) have been having difficulties when this is enabled. As its utility is limited (mostly just for metrics purposes), I think the easiest solution is to just remove it.
I'd like to keep this, and this seems like something where Cloudflare should be fixed to deal with it. :(
- There's a KDE Plasma integration extension too, maintained by the
KDE upstream. Do we want to install that by default as well?
Yes, we should!
