No this is just a grid, as a list of browsers, proposed by me.
on the screenshot, I did not activate all of my browsers (7).
I was really fighting with myself to take also edge on to this list.
there is a field below each icon, so the browsers you have, you can fill in the
path of the browser, and legitimate with save. If the path is legit then
the button turns green and stays so as your own confirmed browser.
So if you click on some browser links in your system this app starts, carrying
the link, you can choose one of the green marked browser icons, to carry out the link
opening.
you are probably perfectly right, as I said, I practice browser
isolation, that means my google business goes with a browser
wich already includes google stuff, for example for my customers
issues I take palemoon, where I am confident about privacy,
for netflix and co. I take Vivaldi. For banking Falkon etc…that is
also why I created this python app forward2browser.
Brave’s whitelisting works exactly the same as Firefox’s. Permits specific instances of certain trackers to allow expected functionality such as Facebook logins to work. Nothing more.
Brave is a MiTM attack, masquerading as a privacy oriented browser. It’s privacy features require that you trust them…and they have proven over time, repeatedly to be untrustworthy.
As a side note: I just tested Brave and Chromium on KDE and they both have a huge input lag with Kwin compositor on. It is most noticeable when you resize you browser and everything become super choppy and it almost feels like there is some delay when I move my mouse.
I know how to harden Firefox to stop it handing over our keystrokes to Mozilla by default. But why should we need to harden Firefox when their whole philosophy is supposed to be anti-tracking, and yet they are engaging in this shady practice?
That is the real issue. No matter how you feel about Mozilla’s stance on privacy, there isn’t anything better.(Unless you consider derivatives of Firefox itself)
A hardened Firefox is better than anything based on chromium. This will get even worse once google disables Manifest v2 in 2023.
That has nothing to do with privacy
Surely there will be something come along. I know it’s not Waterfox or Librewolf, so I am quietly hoping it might be Epiphany (Gnome Web) when it drops in 5 weeks.
It won’t be a thing of the past, it still has a purpose. Ungoogled chromium isn’t a privacy enhancing browser in the general sense. It removes all the calls to google which enhances privacy but that is only one small piece of a privacy browser in general.
Librewolf is, itself, just a hardened version of Firefox. It doesn’t exist without Firefox.
