Librewolf but like... for chromium?

My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

Pantherina,
  • not sandboxed
  • no repo, no updates, always the risk of malware
  • not hardened
  • outdated version

Pantherina,

Highly advise against Chromium, see different comment

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-dhc_SWBk

Pantherina,

And it is also outdated and not privacy optimised (which seems way less documented than with Firefox). Not sure if appimages even have sandbox or if that is broken too.

Pantherina, (edited )

Opensource is a very important point. If its only the UI that is a different thing though.

Save browsing in Firefox is anonymized and afaik even proxied. In FF you can also deactivate it but shouldnt. No personal data is sent and it is not identifiable. But you may really not need it.

Pantherina,

Chrome or Chromium? Because that “hardening” is only the switches they allow you to use, so if its full of proprietary tracking software it is not hardened at all

Pantherina,

How is Thorium privacy optimized?

Its version is outdated and it has no focus on Privacy. Also important to see if privacy from Google or from the actual sites you visit i.e. fingerprint prevention.

Brave is better here

Pantherina,

Maybe not up to date enough, degoogled but not fingerprinting improved.

Pantherina,

Check this out

Did you add the key, so that the repo has GPG verification?

Pantherina,

Its a bit weird as Beta and Nightly share a key with 2 keys inside.

Pantherina,

Why not use Chromium then? Give it a try?

Pantherina, (edited )

OP mentioned that the Flatpak is shit, and Browser Flatpaks are not as secure too. Thanks for the Link!

Pantherina,

Do you have sources what Data firefox sends to Alphabet etc?

Pantherina,

Lol? This doesnt seem very democratic then

Pantherina,

Its a first step. And then some day complex software can run, even though I have the feeling that has all shady DRM stuff inside

Pantherina, (edited )

Try to recreate the panel?

And yes, Plasma6 is usable now, it seems like everything is just working and I am close to rebasing. There is a Fedora Kinoite variant which is in my experience way better than Neon Unstable

Pantherina,

Nearly all tools (with flatpak and portals progressing into better directions but probably never finished) have rw permissions everwhere.

The modern OS threat model is not other users, as private users mostly have single user systems. It is malware and software doing nasty things.

On Linux this always worked out somehow, but grabbing your sudo password is not hard, just alias sudo to a script reading your argument, reading your password, and piping the password to the real sudo. You dont even notice it but that script just got your sudo password.

Dont know what Reddit has to do with that

Pantherina,

Regarding Windows all I read is that this “admin permission dialog” is launched in some form of sandbox where no software can access it. Not sure about faking input devices though, and I am also not promoting Windows for Security

What Tweak, Program, ... changes a Desktop Environment from unusable to great for you?

I have used Linux on and off for 15 years. I consider myself a casual user and stuck to the mainstream DEs (mostly KDE, XFCE and some Cinnamon). Gnome has been a hurdle for me before and after the big version 40 changes, I couldn’t get my head around how they handled the workspaces and workflow. At some point I I tried out an...

Pantherina,

Gnome, basically some extensions.

KDE: Adapta just the icons. I cant stand the regular Plasma Icons.

why doesn't GNOME have a mascot??

KDE not only has 1 mascot, they have over 6 or more mascots!! Yet GNOME only has the foot, that’s interesting, they need a mascot. And made by Tyson Tan or someone with a similar art style, it would be amazing!!! But anyway GNOME is the best desktop environment and it’s better if it’s vanilla with some small...

Pantherina,

Do you know if their Desktop uses some special packages and if it can just be installed on other Distros? Not a Fan of Ubuntu haha
