A new update has been spotted in Chromium s source website, focusing on making antivirus use on Chromium and other related or even derived browsers smoother.
This new update, published by Google programming expert and former Valve employee Bruce Dawson, comes in lieu of a list of problems that Chromium and its derived browsers would present when running antivirus software. Seemingly limited to Windows 10, these issues would include bookmarks and other files downloaded by the browsers not saving.
The problem, as identified and plotted out in Chromium s source page, seems to revolve around anti viruses locking newly downloaded and acquired files. Specifically, all files that utilized the JavaScript function of ImportantFileWriter are affected. Dawson s solution to this problem is repeating the ReplaceFile function a few times, creating duplicates of the old files, which then go on to replace the latter.
