There exists an extension[1] for Google Chrome that enables the

currently reworking some of the details around how the
fedora-chromium-config package works and I would like to know:
Would the Workstation WG be in favor of me adding a
fedora-chromium-config-gnome subpackage that would automatically
install the GNOME Shell Integration extension for Chrome/Chromium
browsers? I can make its installation conditional on the presence of
gnome-shell on the system if preferred.
I'd be fine with it. And yeah, making it conditional on GNOME Shell
would make sense.
Of the other changes I'm looking at making:
1. Enable Chrome's auto-detection of DNS-over-HTTPS. It ships as
disabled by default in Chrome currently, but it can be set to an
'auto' mode that will prefer DoH if it can determine that the DNS
server supports it.
This breaks corporate VPNs very hard, so probably not.
2. Drop the user-agent extension. Ever since the advent of Chrome
v100, various sites (particularly those that rely on Cloudflare[2]
such as Gitlab.com) have been having difficulties when this is
enabled. As its utility is limited (mostly just for metrics purposes),
I think the easiest solution is to just remove it.
I'd like to keep this, and this seems like something where Cloudflare
should be fixed to deal with it. :(
3. There's a KDE Plasma integration extension too, maintained by
the
KDE upstream. Do we want to install that by default as well?
Yes, we should!
