1Hosts VS Betterfox

Others include badmojr's excellent blocklists and OISD's dnsmasq-ready domains lists.

Oh btw a sidenote: instead of the Energized lists you can use the 1Hosts lists, it is awesome as well.

I think 1Hosts PRO is a good replacement, but try Lite or Pro whichever you prefer. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts You may try combining other HOSTS lists with this if you want to, and are technically adept enough.

For what it's worth that domain in your repo is also listed in the 1Hosts block-list [1] but only in the Xtra category, not sure why. It seems that is a known malware site. Oddly enough it is not listed in the PiHoleBlocklist [2]

[1] - https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts [listed but only in Xtra]

[2] - https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist.git [not listed]

Well, our goal is to stay problem free 100% of the time while maximizing our effectivness. The lists we use are as follows: https://abp.oisd.nl/ https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts/raw/master/Lite/adblock.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CipherOps/AdList/main/Blocklist

I will strongly suggest to opt out from their lists. That's what I did. 1Hosts is very good and the people in charge of the lists respond and are pretty helpful. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts

If you have it switched on, try accessing https://o0.pages.dev/

You can apply Betterfox using USB debugging, but it takes time to set it up: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/240

or for more configurations, https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/

I use Brave/Firefox, so I might be biased, but I think they are the best options. If you want things to be lightweight, you could just remove some of the fat from Firefox using something like Betterfox.

> Most of the preferences in this will actually reduce the target-able attack surface

Can you point to anything specific that reduces the attack surface?

When looking at the "securefox" config, it does a bunch of strange things, like enabling embedded TikTok links (https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/443710b0738ebc8f...) and disabling UITour (https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/443710b0738ebc8f...) which Firefox uses to highlight menus and is only accessible by approved Mozilla domains (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/per...).

It's a very strange mix of configs.

I didn't say Floorp was doing anything wrong, Betterfox is: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/d2359e4e75a8a13fd28e3843cc1b0aac328370f8/LICENSE

But you can apply either Arkenfox's user.js or Betterfox's anyways, kinda defeats the purpose of using a test version but ok I guess

Also, on Firefox, you can use Betterfox user.js to improve security and performance, without breaking anything.

Config user js from https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox -> it removes all telemetry and Mozilla bs like pocket, sync, etc.
