Betterfox VS firefox-gnome-theme

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.

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.

if you use gnome, have you also tried firefox-gnome-theme?

Together with https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme it's all you will ever need

I recently installed Firefox-gnome-theme from Github. When I tried to uninstall it, it wont go back to original Firefox theme. I even tried to install Firefox again after uninstalling the one with Gnome theme and removing every folder with Mozilla or Firefox in its name.

I just checked this discussion here (https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme/discussions/447) and it seems this theme is not tested/might not work well on Windows :( sorry my comment was misleading, I didn't think this post was going to get this much traction.

oh. for firefox there's a good solution.

This is probably for you then, https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme

It's nice in theory to try to have a cohesive design, but as soon as you start downloading additional apps, thing will start being less and less coherent. Maybe you'll get Firefox to match the rest of the system (but that will require a separately maintained CSS for every ,theme like what Rafael Mardojai does for Firefox), but apps Chromium, OBS, Steam, Discord, Spotify? It's not realistic to expect every App to maintain a version that fits every DE there is. The only thing I would care about is that the apps come with a Light/Dark mode and follow the system preference.

If you haven't seen it already the GNOME Firefox theme is really nice for consistency https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme

probably this one
