Android Application Developers noticed<\/a><\/noindex> noted a serious flaw in Chrome 79 that leads to data loss for users in third-party applications utilizing the WebView browser engine. In Chrome 79, there was changed<\/a><\/noindex> a change in the directory location containing the user profile, where web applications store their data using the localStorage or WebSQL API. When updating from previous Chrome releases, the data transfer is automatic, but it does not account for data saved in the old directory by mobile applications based on the WebView component, such as those created with the Apache Cordova framework.<\/p>\n

Until the issue is resolved, Google yesterday paused<\/a><\/noindex> the rollout of Chrome 79 for Android, but the update has already been downloaded by about half of the users. The issue has been assigned the highest level of importance, and efforts are underway to minimize data loss. In reality, the data has not been deleted; it has simply become invisible to applications, allowing for potential recovery. One of the solutions being considered<\/a><\/noindex> is to revert the profile directory to its previous location. Developers of WebView-based applications are expressing dissatisfaction with Google\u2019s actions, as users blame them for data loss and lower their ratings, unaware that Chrome is the source of the problem.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it can be noted
\ncomplaints<\/a><\/noindex> regarding the login block for Google services when using certain browsers on Linux, such as Konqueror<\/a><\/noindex>, Falkon<\/a><\/noindex> and Qutebrowser<\/a><\/noindex>. The reason cited is potential security issues in those programs. According to the discussion<\/a><\/noindex> on Reddit, the block is selectively applied to users without two-factor authentication and using browsers based on outdated versions of the engine (old QtWebEngine, WebKit, and KHTML) that contain unpatched vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n
