Iris 0.0.0.9, based on Chromium 156.0.8078.47

Moves Iris to Chromium 156 stable, with its security fixes.

Security

  • Chromium 156 stable security fixes
  • No trust in eMudhra's emSign certificates, after keys for eight of its certificates were found to be computable from the public certificates. Blocked by key, so later updates can't bring them back
  • New: Block copied commands from websites. If a site puts a hidden command on your clipboard, the way "ClickFix" scams do ("press Win+R and paste to prove you are human"), Iris puts a warning there instead. Checked on your device, nothing is sent anywhere. On by default (Settings → Privacy and security → Iris hardening)

New

  • The security settings are on the Iris hardening page: HTTPS-Only, secure DNS, strict post-quantum mode, security keys and certificates
  • Safe Browsing is off and its setting is gone
  • 24 more encrypted DNS providers to choose from, 45 in all
  • Optional names under the toolbar buttons (Customize your toolbar → Show button names)

Android

  • The shield shows on tablets and unfolded foldables (it showed a share button)
  • No Privacy Guide
