#Librewolf

KarlHow do security-aware people feel about downloading and installing web browsers from "the Internet"? For example, for FreeBSD there is Pale Moon, but there is no port/package for it. On Linux, at least some distros don't have LibreWolf. So, you have to go and download these from their respective websites. (Well, on Linux I could maybe use DistroBox if I could find a LibreWolf package in another distro.)I'm sure bad actors could manage to hide malicious code in packages that you get via your OS/distro repos as well, but it feels a little bit more secure when someone from the OS/distro has gone through the trouble of creating and releasing a package via their own package system.Basically, how can I trust a tool I download from the Internet with quite sensitive data?Am I just being naive? Should I *always* run all web browsers inside jails or use flatpaks etc so they can't access files in my $HOME dir etc?<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#librewolf</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/palemoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#palemoon</a>

John Wilker 👨🏽‍💻Grumble. Installed the latest <a href="https://chaos.social/@librewolf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@librewolf</a> yesterday. 140.0.4-1.This morning on boot up. No open tabs. Was using two windows. One didn’t come back. "recently closed tabs" is blank. No way to recover except to try to remember what was open.Guess they brought in whatever the bug was in Firefox (and why I left). Very frustrating to have to try to recreate what I was working on first thing in the morning. Why are browsers such pieces of shit now?<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#librewolf</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefox</a>

KaiXin#FreeBSD users in the US, which mirror do you use for pkg? I am using the default pkg.FreeBSD.org and it is slow as hell. #Librewolf upgrade has been stuck at downloading for more than 60 minutes! #BSD #Unix #RUNBSD

Dusty<a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jwildeboer</a> totally agree. I would add "and please don't choose substack for that blog post". Why? Because I can't save the article using the web browser's "Save Page As..." feature (<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Librewolf</a>).

@Dwarf :borglogo:Speaking of Firefox, I noticed that recently it started doing that Internet Explorer thing where it replaces HTTP error pages with a Firefox error page instead of showing the one the website provides. Does anyone know if there's a setting in about:config to disable that?

I can't remember if it ever worked, but definitely not this week. I just tried disabling any relevant extensions and even ResistFingerPrinting in case they were interfering, but nothing helped.It's fine in Chromium-based browsers - e.g. Edge and Vivaldi, where I had either logged off or had never logged on before.

I don't find it difficult to rule my own browser. I'd do it for librewolf too. I still didn't find it tight enough for my use (when I tried it). Maintenance is necessary for every browser. The fact that unwanted features can be turned off and controlled by myself is more important to me that being dependant on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#librewolf</a> developers. Conclusion: I'd still recommend <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefox</a>

SkivlingI have a dilemma with browsers: [solution found, see comments] I really like Zen Browser but it has a ram issue on my computer which causes frequent crashes. I switched to LibreWolf and it's having the same issues. I'm on fedora.Default Firefox does not have these issues, I'm thinking that's because it's a native rpm package and not a flatpak. There doesn't seem to be an rpm version of Zen or LibreWolf. I could switch to default firefox but it's got mozilla telemetry and extra features I don't want to see. I want a private browser, as of recently this probably isn't a great choice. Is there any other version of firefox that isn't changed much? Or should I just use normal firefox?<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/zenBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zenBrowser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/libreWolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libreWolf</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flatpak</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/rpm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rpm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fedora</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a>
