chromebrew VS Betterfox

With Chromebrew we just implemented a global manifest of package filelists. Everything is a flat file. You can browse ours here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/manifest

TO OP: try something called https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew

Hmm

Apparently works on a vanilla Chromebook, no Crouton or Crostini, but must be in developer mode as stated here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew

Have you tried chromebrew. Unlike crouton it seems to be in active development.

Because it's not intended that ChromeOS users should need to modify the base operating system (e.g. to install software), it doesn't come with a package manager like apt or emerge. (However, you can install one if you want using something like Chromebrew* or Crouton*.)

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.
