Good point.
( Till now I I just built ports in current when odd ports from RELEASE broke,
  That's too simplistic, Thanks.)


   I am a little concerned.
 
  Me too !
  Not had tme to pursued it though.
   I dont feel like exporting that data public

 You don't have to export it at all.
 Can you confirm the data within is the same as say the same
 file in /etc or ~/.ssh? If that's really the case, it's a problem.

No I happily can not confirm that, despite a quick-ish look.
( I wouldn't particularly xpect it, if a trojan took control, it would be pretty
easy to store data [hidden or scrambled] in different format.)

The string I saw was in file jquery.js:

/^(?:color|date|datetime|datetime-local|email|hidden|month|number|password|range|search|tel|text|time|url|week)$/i,bJ=/^(?:about|app|app\-storage


Some machines have more valuable data in user files, than /etc/
passwords.  If 'only' /etc/*passwd got harvested, but data beyond
did not yet get harvested, waiting for a 2nd pass with trojan,
damage would be less.


  I suggest others create a dummy guest account  then accesss URL  do
  page save as I wrote.


Cheers,
Julian

browsers are the new OS and should make use of chroot(), seccomp,

Yes otherwise all the flash sites would have gathered files from local disks.

There are some new Browser APIs which allow you to create files and

Yes, there are some FreeBSD developers who have gone to work for Google
and have subsequently not been particularly active in the FreeBSD
project.  Same goes for Apple -- case in point being Jordan Hubbard, one
time pretty much the leader of the FreeBSD project, now some incredibly
important bod within Apple.

It doesn't always happen that way round.  Ben Laurie, for instance, had
been working for Google for many years before becoming a FreeBSD
committer.  (Of course, his involvement with Apache and OpenSSL long
pre-dated his joining Google.)

Developers come and go, and always have done.  It's the same for any
reasonably long-lived open source project.  Nothing new and nothing to
be alarmed at.

 FreeBSD vs Hurd what is the differences? Is this Hurd now made for Google by
 FreeBSD?

FreeBSD and Hurd are two completely different operating systems.  As far
as I know, Google has no particular interest in either of them, although
it does support such projects in general through things like Summer of
Code and sponsoring various collaborations.  See for instance
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/ for a project with
a great deal of involvement by both Google and FreeBSD developers.

Cheers,

Matthew

Additional to all the useful things Matthew wrote, I'd add:

IamTrying could/should have read such Basic stuff on many webs/
search engines, inc Wikipedia. no need to ask here: More efficient
for community if IamTrying read there.  Less writing work, per
more readers,  more carefully researched  cross checked  linked
facts etc.

My memory:
  Hurd for many years was GNU/FSF's dream / vapourware OS, a few bits
  but not a complete OS (kernel, compiler, cd /usr/src ; make world
  ) most of us ignored it  got on with BSD lcensed BSD code.  Later
  Linux arrived, maybe a decade later Hurd finaly arrived as an OS
  no longer bits; most of us in BSD continued to ignore it.  It's
  FSF, we in BSD prefer BSD licenced stuff.

GNU General Public License

Minix3 exists too. Yup Minix isn't dead
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minix3

Mach exists or use to, various  OSs if you're browsing:

Includes ref. to google chrome.
Have fun reading :-)

the major difference between Hurd and FreeBSD is that FreeBSD actually 
work.




http://pastehtml.com/view/c3kw80dyq.html - Does anyone know if FreeBSD core
developers left FreeBSD to work in Google? What will be the future of
FreeBSD and Google?


single man from FreeBSD is listed and other from FreeBSD docs.

Thats what shows with lynx

Firefox shows some boring page beginnning
-
The tables below, list some of Google's eclectic mix of open source luminaries 
grouped by project.

No doubt I've forgotten some, so don't hesitate to contact me with 
corrections/additions.

Note also this list of Google's open source projects.

Python


Guido Van Rossum


Python creator

Alex Martelli


Python Cookbook, ...

Brett Cannon


Python

Jeremy Hylton


Zope

I'll skip the rest, Yawn.


Firefox also runs some script.
Doing a page save  tar cf ends with a tar image containing 

datetime|datetime-local|email|hidden|month|number|password|range|search|tel|te

I've long been thinking I / one should run firefox inside a chroot or jail
to it can't harvest ?

Cheers,
Julian
