“Now” = since December 14th, the day this post was published.
Any recommendations? I had all the extensions I needed for some time now. Maybe except cookie autodelete. Should I install cookie autodelete or with the 3rd party cookies disabled it’s not really needed?
Consent-o-Matic for automating most of the cookie popups.
I use CAD because I don’t want to stay logged into amazon/chewy/target etc., when I am just browsing the product.
Personally, I only use CAD, ublock, cleanURL, and Decentraleyes. The more extensions you have, especially obscure ones, the easier you are to fingerprint.
Anybody have any news on Firefox inbuilt translations? It would be fantastic if it made its way to android
still waiting on multiaccount containers
@MagneticFusion @joojmachine 💯 multiaccount is a must to have. This is the best to control and isolate cookies. IMHO implementation effort should not be high
This would be awesome.
How that still isn’t a built-in feature to Firefox, I will never know.
Is there an extension that fixes the homepage to allow more than 2 rows of bookmarks? It is such a waste to have half the screen empty yet still having to swipe left to display more bookmarks.
Dear Mozilla, we really appreciated your intentions but we don’t need more extensions but Gecko Webview to compete against Google’s monopoly in this area. Chrome-based browsers are far ahead when it comes to security, see for example the GrapheneOS team of developers who preferred to adopt a Chromium-based browser rather than adopting Firefox as the default browser, they don’t even recommend using it
GrapheneOS is security focused, but not so privacy focused in terms of their browser. In fact, they state that explicitly in the usage guide:
Vanadium was previously primarily focused on security hardening but we plan on adding assorted privacy and usability features. In the near future, we plan to add support for always incognito mode, content filtering (ad blocking, etc.), improved state partitioning, backup/restore and many other features.
The only reason they dont recommend firefox is because it dont have pre-site process isolation. This is NOT a privacy feature, but a exploit protection feature. Until a exploit has been discovered, with or without isolation, websites cannot interfere with each other.
Their Vanadium is, in fact, middle of the road in terms of data isolation and don’t have any tracker blocker or fingerprint resistant. It is a tradeoff they made between privacy and usablity. If you want to read more: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
GrapheneOS has a tendency to market their security choices as arbitrary to its users, probably to make them easier to understand. This is unfortunately enhanced by several GrapheneOS YouTubers.
Many times recommendations from GrapheneOS are strictly better than they competition, sometimes their advantage are not necessarily strict, but a tradeoff. I believe for Vanadium, their recommendation leans towards later.
Personally, I use grapheneOS with Mull.
GrapheneOS isn’t a benchmark, it’s a choice of a random distro essentially, others choose differently.
If you think Chromium is safer or more secure than Firefox, you are mistaking, just take a look at the changelogs of both
Changelog is not the point but the fundamental concepts and techniques. And unfortunately Chromium is far ahead.
Graphene as the most hardened OS is the benchmark. It’s not random. Please inform.
Which 3rd party audit says that
Please don’t link a random news site or blog post
I like that they’re opening it up, but I don’t see any “must have” extensions beyond what I already have.
Sponsor block and just use YouTube in the browser instead of the app
You can install newpipe and libretube. Why bother with their crappy website? It’s not ios
For the recommendation algorithm. I also use Grayjay but it’s just the videos from your subscriptions in reverse order of when they were released.
For the recommendation algorithm. See my other comment
Check out PipePipe
What’s the advantage over newpipe since it’s a fork of that?
More pipe.
I have tried to use Firefox on mobile for specifically this reason. Kept using for 2 weeks and just gave up because browsing experience was super laggy on S23 Ultra even with noscript (e.g. Framework laptop website). Switched to Cromite. I don’t think I’m coming back to Firefox unless they do something about user experience and smoothness first, no matter the extensions count.
Curious, my Mull on GrapheneOS runs fine with extensions. I have CAD, cleanURL, and ublock enabled. I have tried Decentraleyes enabled or not enabled, both works fine on frameork’s front page.
Maybe you want to disable some extensions an try again?
Still waiting for this to make it to Mull…
Was one or two weeks ago done. I already can install additional extensions. Check for updates
I was waiting for the Add-Ons screen to look like Iceraven’s, but I see I can just install from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/ now!
It’s been there for me since the whole thing started
You can, mull disable extension by default to avoid fingerprinting. You just need to enable it.
Go to
about:config
and changeprivacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager
to false.See: https://divestos.org/pages/broken#mull
EDIT: it seems like it is changed to false by default in recent update.
Keep em coming. Extensions are what makes FF the best browser.
