All I was saying is it isn’t ready for use as a browser, it states on the github that it is in pre-alpha. It doesn’t have the threat model goal of protecting fingerprintable metrics. Using this over security and privacy hardened firefox, even in the future once all the web standards are supported, will worsen your privacy. There needs to be intentional development of anti-fingerprinting measures.

I like choice, this isn’t ready and OP should have added more context then just a title and a github. This is not a privacy browser, this is a tech demo.

Yes, by educating I mostly mean word of mouth. But also sharing of user friendly guides like PrivacyGuides. An alternative browser can only disrupt Google’s control on the web by gaining significant market share, which requires convincing and converting users to the better software alternatives to Chromium. We must educate because we are the tech educated minority, and we require the assistance of the majority to oppose googles unilateral control. I think Gecko is a better option to put development time behind (or better yet Servo), or abandoning many of the privacy invasive web standards and creating a new internet (which of course would never see wide use).

TLDR: We need the majority to be more educated about tech or things will keep getting worse regardless of a new browser engine or anything else.

My point exactly. It isn’t ready and OP gave no context for why this relates to privacy. Better suited for the open source community on Lemmy.

The only reason Firefox still has any market share is probably because it is old enough. I highly doubt this browser will ever stop google forcing a new web standard. We need to educate the general users to make better tech decisions if we want change. We can stay hopeful about this engine. Still would have liked it if servo was getting more development.

Firefox and chromium are open source. You can just remove mozilla and google telemetry during compile, or disable in the settings.

Fingerprint is 100% still useful even with telemetry. This is not a privacy browser and is still in early stages, volatile and easy to fingerprint (not even counting it is a different web engine and so has an even smaller userbase than Firefox). Also, a content blocker is good for cyber security, so regardless of fingerprinting, this is not ready for privacy-conscious people.

I made my original comment to add context about why this browser shouldnt be used if you care about privacy. If OP had said “this is a promising new independent player in the browser world, look forward to seeing what they do in the future when its more stable” I wouldnt have said anything.

Lol, but also JS being volatile in the current browser makes it easier to fingerprint.

It is just disappointing. But people forget that there are many FOSS projects that we widely use where the developers have shitty ignorant opinions. Maybe peoples uproar is directly related to the refusal to merge a simple grammar change, which seems very anti-open source. Or maybe that the Dev has a code of conduct that speaks about inclusivity which they weaponized to justify not merging, as to be “politically-inclusive” (aka some people dont believe that “they” can be used for one person lmao). It just feels like they are choosing a weird hill to die on and also being a hypocrite by being so intentional obtuse, and of course the devs abrasive and accusatory method of responding on multiple occasions.

I think it is harder to separate the Dev from their creation when it relates to open source. It really is a passion of the heart a lot of the time. But that doesn’t make the tech any less interesting.

That doesn’t make it private. Privacy on the modern web requires anti-fingerprinting, otherwise any website with tracking scripts can easily start creating a shadow profile for you.

Edit:
What I mean is it isn’t a browser anyone who cares about their privacy should use (yet or every depending on development). Not close to ready yet. OP didnt put any context either for why they posted it.

Is this browser private? Does it implement proper sandboxing and have any methods of anti-fingerprinting? I hope it eventually see the implementation of a robust content blocker. What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source. While it is nice to see an independent web engine, if there is no method of anti-fingerprinting, the privacy of this browser is severely limited.

DivestOS is the most thoroughly degoogled of the android ROMs (it removes the most proprietary binary blobs). DivestOS is also decently security hardened, better security hardening than any other Android ROM other than GrapheneOS. But since it removes more of these proprietary blobs, it further reduces the attack surface of the ROM. Both GOS and DivestOS are good options. As commented by another user, /e/OS falls behind on security updates often, which is quite bad for a security or privacy focused OS.

I assume they mean proprietary code blobs.

If they want proper anonymity, the user needs to protect against fingerprinting from the duckduckgo website (Tor or Mullvad). If by anonymity you are meaning from OpenAI, then duckduckgo needs to be running user’s text prompts through a paraphrasing LLM to normalize text and avoid deanonimization using writing-style Fingerprinting.

Unofficial MCPE launcher is the only way to run bedrock on Linux

Many mechanics, and bugs, and features. Redstone is very different because the bug/exploit parity doesn’t exist and even obvious features are different (Redstone attaches to pistons). When they add a new mechanic, the bugs are different and unique to each game. Like because cauldrons can hold potions in bedrock, you can (idk if its changed) use the newish block dripstone to increment the potion fullness, duplicating it.

I assume it has documentation, otherwise you can look at the Flatpak docs to see the equivalent terminal commands that are available in the GUI. Flatseal is pretty intuitive in my experience.

On linux for the Obsidian Flatpak, you can deny it having internet and filesystem permissions using Flatseal.

How recently. I tested with Mullvad and it gave me a notice.
