Show HN: BrowserBox – do stuff with browsers that you can't normally
Here's a Firefox version. It won't be any better for quality/performance though. https://github.com/jlesage/docker-firefox

Need Help Translating NGINX Script To Apache
I use Apache for my primary web server accessed through 80/443, and I need to set up a reverse proxy to a Docker container. Specifically, I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy for this Firefox image so I can use it on the go.

Orb, the free and open source web desktop
There was a project on here a while back where you could basically host a Firefox instance on a VPS somewhere and use it over the web (reddit post about it). It was pretty cool. It was for use for things like private browsing anywhere you want. Something like that could push Orb into an area where it would be useful for folks with use-cases like that, and not just people with NAS/servers to manage.

How to detect and block vpn traffic?
I have setup Firefox docker that I can access from my nginx server. It's just normal https traffic so won't be blocked in a corporate environment. You might want to firewall it off from the rest of your network somehow and definitely add access controls to it. Works surprisingly well though

Is there a way to run any app via docker, to be accessed remotely?
But let me clarify my question: let's say I'd like to run Firefox on docker and would need to be able to access it remotely. I could use a pre-built image like docker-firefox. But how can I verify that the Firefox that's included in this image has not been tampered with? Is there a way? If not, is there a (simpl-ish) way to download Firefox off mozilla.org and put it in a docker container together with a remote desktop server or a web server? Or would a simple Linux VM be the easier way?

selfhosting firefox in docker behind nginx reverse proxy with authorization so that I and wife could quickly use another computer relatively privately. Concerns and tips are appreciated in comments. link to docker container in comments.
The Firefox image (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-firefox/blob/master/Dockerfile) then installs Firefox, fonts and other tools.
- Cool docker examples to show my students
- There isn't any last running container ID to commit the changes !

Licensing when creating a docker image of an app
I want to create docker image of Ungoogled Chromium, with a webUI for accessing the browser, similar to QNAP's Browser Station and this docker image of firefox.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

any working adBlock for YouTube?
Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
