It's actually the extension injecting itself into the webpage, often to interact with it. (I imagine much of this is just looking for global ExtensionName objects.)
Actually, the article is clear about what is happening technically, and it’s both. Chrome does, in fact, allow the page to make requests for resources stored in the extension bundle, and this is one of the two fingerprinting methods that the article describes.
What everyone is missing is any org who pays Ubuntu or RedHat for support is going to buy officially supported hardware from Lenovo, Dell, Framework or etc. Asahi is a cool project, but there's zero money in it.
as someone who has had several official asahi fedora remix updates break the boot up of a m1 mac mini, this is it. it’s just too damn risky. i’ve had it happen so frequently that i’m genuinely at a point where im considering retiring the machine for something more stable and less likely to break during an update and it’s not even like i used it for a GUI, it’s a headless machine.

iOS fills out these forms, puts the random password in icloud keychain, and then auths with faceid or etc. Obviously doesn't help OS's saas. But tons better than using Buster123 on every website.
I’m hoping with the advent of Apple Passwords that some of this password saving magic happens for more of her websites as well. Of course she has a tendency to turn off most of these helpful things after getting scared by videos on Facebook.
