is it useful to install trocker addon with Librewolf, or protection offered by that addon is already included?

Trocker is an email tracker blocker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trockerapp/

Hey all,

I'm using librewolf as my daily browser on my laptop and bromite on my phone. The only way I can sync bookmarks is using xBrowserSync. works gret btw. However, this piece of software is not updated for 2 years now.

Is it still the best choice?

Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if what Skip Redirect provides, is something Librewolf, thorugh some settings already provide, or if not, if uBlockOrigin does and how. And if not having such settings on Librewolf, or uBlockOrigin, does it make sense the add-on?

I installed it as recommended by arkenfox. I know Librewolf doesn't exactly follow arkenfox, but it's any ways a reference, :)

It's not one of the Librewolf recommendations though...

Thanks !

Hello,

how to enable swipe gestures in LibreWolf?

132
 
 

from that issue:

I'll be stopping providing new LibreWolf builds, and it's possible I'll abandon the port altogether in the near future. So, unless I'll find someone who will take care of the port, it would be better to remove the instructions.

more details inside, and many thanks to the person who provided the port during these months!

hello! v106.0.1 is rolling out on all platforms.

some might have already got a v106.0 update, others will be upgraded directly to the newer version as the releases were condensed into one, since they occurred within 48 hrs from each other upstream.

main changes:

  • rebased to latests firefox;
  • updated settings: there have been many minor changes in the past few releses, I suggest looking at the changelog of the past few versions;
  • hide firefox view for now, we will eventually patch it and re-introduce it in a revisited form later on!

enjoy and be safe :-)

I recently wanted to try out Reader View but for some reason the icon in the url bar was nowhere to be seen. After taking a look at about:config it seems the feature is permanently disabled. Is there a reason for this?

The preference is called reader.parse-on-load.enabled.

a bit late to the party, but v104 has been released in the past few days, depending on your platform.

the changelog is very small this time, I blame august:

  • all changes from firefox v104;
  • updated some patches that broke;
  • updated settings to v6.9, which is mostly a cleanup.

look I said it wasn't that much..but enjoy it :-)

I forgot the changelog for v102 but here's the one for v103 instead.

  • all upstream fixes from FF103
  • updated, fixed and deprecated patches.
    • in particular you might have noticed an issue with uBO disappearing, it's now fixed.
  • add release for OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
  • updated build documentation.
  • updated base macOS SDK to 11+.
  • updated settings to v6.7.
    • as the upstream cookie pref migration is finished you should no longer experience lost cookies.
    • IPv6 is no longer disabled by default.
  • updated some description in the UI.
  • fix printing in flatpak.

an even more detailed issue and merge request overview is available in the meta for v103.

I do have RFP enabled, but also webgl enabled. In the doc, it's recommended to at least use canvasblocker, if having webgl enabled. But I'm wondering if RFP should make canvasblocker unnecessary at all.

Thanks !

The mozilla blog indicates total cookie protection is now on by default, but I'm wondering what does that mean. Whether it means we shouldn't touch anything from the enhanced tracking protection, or strict keeps being the safest bet?

I don't read in the blog anything about special settings, so I'm just wondering if we just got that on both, Firefox and Librewolf, without common settings to worry about enabling/disabling the behavior...
