Oh, sorry for the confusion. The posts online I’ve found about the subject of disabling fingerprinting protection in Librewolf are full of people who state that doing so “defeats the purpose of Librewolf”. Which probably WAS true before Mozilla’s recent changes, since the sole reason Librewolf had to exist was to be a hardened version of Firefox.
That’s no longer the case since Librewolf has a new purpose (now that Mozilla thinks they own the right to sell all your data): a Firefox fork without Mozilla.
I disabled a lot of that stuff because it’s kind of annoying for usability, e.g. browser won’t render anything at more than 60fps. I know this is a trade off and I’m cool with that. I have other tools and strategies in place to protect my privacy.
(referring to the embedded YouTube video) There’s something about the humanoid form that hacks my brain. It just feels cruel to not also invite the robot to the table too
And you’d be in charge of the AI, right Alexis? What a cunt.
Been using it all day now and yeah, it’s very smooth sailing. The tweaks I made basically involved removing fingerprinting protection, which I saw people online deride as “defeating the entire purpose of Librewolf”. Well, not true anymore.
I just want manifest v2 and to not have to consent to ToS agreements implicitly allowing some suspicious organisation to harvest and sell literally any keypress I enter into the browser, which has become the de facto cross platform way to do almost everything.
Nice, what issues?
TBH I was tempted to try IceCat first because of the name (I’m not a furry but I do think cats are cool). But no official binaries and I’m already running enough custom-compiled software, thing I need least is for my browser to be like that too haha
Gahhhh this is horrible
I spent some time switching to Librewolf this morning but at the end of the day, it having Firefox as the upstream means it’s all fragile and tenuous anyway
Wait do you mean “kates” or “Kay-Eights”? I think either makes sense and I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow
If you said it like “Kuhh-Eights” I would probably laugh
How about you just increase the pay and benefits you’re offering? if you love the efficiencies of the free market so much why don’t you fucking act like it
I think software name pronunciation discussions are so hilariously absurd that I sometimes purposefully vocalise nginx as “Nuhh Ginks” just to put a hat on it
Oh damn, I’m gonna be thinking of it as that now too
Oracle actually making products and services is only their side hustle
When this baby hits 200rps, you’re gonna get some hairs on your chest
that’s what the helots are for
Thats uhh… kinda romantic, actually
Haven’t heard of this movie before but it sounds interesting
Yea it was during their “total war on piracy” era
It basically screwed with your computers CD drive, phoned home, made it self undetectable, all that good stuff
Yeah. Sony gave me malware one time with one of those. Thanks Sony.
Yea this is quite common. People are still humans
I lold. So cute
My tuxie sometimes gets dust on the top of his head and I have no idea where he gets it from, as he’s an inside only cat
