Chrome/Chromium-based browsers and GNOME 48 - Global Shortcuts

If you have extensions who use shortcuts installed on these browsers, you’ll face an issue of many dialogs opening when the browser starts, it’s quite annoying. The bug has been reported and fixed, but the commit is not yet on a stable release.

The workaround for now, is to disable the feature via --disable-features=GlobalShortcutsPortal

Last year, my main manjaro operation was testing throughout the year. This year, I decided to continuously maintain the stable branch on New Year’s Day.

But I changed my policy. I decided to operate it on unstable. Thank you.

I’m vaguely thinking that UNSTABLE might be fine for my HW configuration and DE. It’s easier to follow the benefits of improvements in the latest kernel (mainly FS, btrfs, bcachefs, etc.).

I have multiple backups and snapshots as talismans.

Updates come in several times a day. Good job.
