Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

URL Copying Fails on Focus for me
Please report bugs directly to the Firefox Focus developers.
-
Firefox Focus "use google account to sign in" pop up, any way to get rid of it?
Since you use Firefox Focus, please report this to its developers. Maybe they can do something about it.

Firefox Klar?
Not the only one who has noticed it: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/6101
-
Possibly a stupid question - why does firefox android app have trackers?
The only Mozilla-backed browser that doesn't have trackers or telemetry enabled by default is Klar (Play Store, Github) because they have to comply with Germany's, Austria's and Switzerland's laws.

Cannot get rid of Site Exceptions Firefox Focus on Android
I filed https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/6888 for this. Feel free to chime in over there if you want to add a "me too" to the comments.
-
Firefox Focus iOS: will we get multiple tabs support?
Found an old one, and it looks like they are waiting for Android multitasking features to be implemented.
-
On Mobile: Firefox w/ addons VS. Firefox Focus
Focus uses a blacklist of known trackers.

Firefox have a great desktop browser, but a not so great mobile browser
It seems that Fenix will support HTTPS only mode in very near future. At least, HTTPS only mode for Firefox Focus is actively developing. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/pull/5988
-
Reddit links don't work in Firefox Focus anymore.
I think this is https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/5101

Do not change my search engine!
Filing on Bugzilla for the android browsers gets a delayed response and follow up. It's better to go directly to the Github repo.

Question about immutability
Glossing over their hardening guide, we notice that the kernel-hardened package is mentioned. This is a fork of what once was the kernel of GrapheneOS. While this hardened kernel can be used on a variety of distros, unfortunately this doesn't apply to Fedora Silverblue. Furthermore, I haven't seen any mention of the hardened kernel being used on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Therefore I see no reason to believe that this is possible on openSUSE Aeon either. Though, I'd love to be corrected on this!
- How to obtain hardened kernel?

Is there a security focused Linux distro for desktop users?
Here's the GitHub page for the linux-hardened package in the official Arch repos. You will find that lots of changes come from GrapheneOS. "Forked from GrapheneOS" is in tiny, tiny text near the top-left of the web page underneath the project name.

Let's Play with the Linux Kernel
Here is the source code for the hardened Linux kernel.

Deploying Firecracker VMs
so that we can use it liberally in CLI) > **Additionally, here's a 'building from the source section** - https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md#building-from-source ### Running Firecracker > "*In production, Firecracker is designed to be run securely, inside an execution jail, carefully set up by the jailer binary. This is how our integration test suite does it. However, if you just want to see Firecracker booting up a guest Linux machine, you can do that as well.*" 1. We need to first obtain an "uncompressed Linux kernel binary, and an ext4 file system image (to use as rootfs)" ; great, these are two things that we need to seek out before we move forward in our 'adventure' (*this really feels like a "quest" of some sort, like the ones that they forced you to play on Runescape back in the days*) **How to Decompress Linux Kernel** (explicit instructions to be honest here) - https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Booting/linux-bootstrap-5.html **Linux-Hardened Kernel** - https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened (this is something that they're all still actively working on at this very point in time) They also say that we need an 'ext4 file system image' (where do we obtain this from?) - found it **Full Guide on How to Create an EXT4 filesystem image here** -https://fabianlee.org/2020/01/13/linux-mounting-a-loopback-ext4-xfs-filesystem-to-isolate-or-enforce-storage-limits/ Assuming that the above has been handled, the directions insist that we create two separate shell prompts, (one to run Firecracker, and another one to control it [by writing to the API socket]; both shells have to run "in the same directory where the firecracker binary was placed") ^^ What? - This is a pain in the ass because this is something that they should've mentioned earlier (obv. everyone is going to move a binary where the rest of their binaries go ; and you're not going to just load up some random project to be used in that manner) - Not even sure what the end goal of opening up an API socket here would really be But fuck it, let's just assume that we play ball and we adhere to all of these (additional) steps that we're being put through (just for the setup up this virtualization tool!). ### Following Through on the Next Steps 1. Ensuring that Firecracker can create its own API ``` bash rm -f /tmp/firecracker.socket

The flashing screen bug seems to be fixed with the 5.19.13 kernel
Officially supported kernels Community support on forum and bug reporting is available for officially supported kernels. Stable — Vanilla Linux kernel and modules, with a few patches applied. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux Hardened — A security-focused Linux kernel applying a set of hardening patches to mitigate kernel and userspace exploits. It also enables more upstream kernel hardening features than linux. https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened || linux-hardened Longterm — Long-term support (LTS) Linux kernel and modules. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux-lts Zen Kernel — Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems. Some more details can be found on https://liquorix.net (which provides kernel binaries based on Zen for Debian). https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel || linux-zen

Kernels: xanmod vs tkg vs lqx vs zen vs hardened
Overall those patches do protect you in a lot of cases. Per default upstream features are chose to honor security first. Furthermore patches do frequently protect against upstream failures and vulnerabilities. One of the latest examples is CVE-2022-1729 https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2022/q2/122 a local privilege vulnerability that linux-hardened simply protects since before day 0: https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened/commit/4dd6bdf3b079ef73e597661ee961d225bfccbe2a On top the approach in several places of fail-early instead of potentially continuing with known corruption or certain use-after-free regularly uncovers problems that get fixed upstream and where the vanilla kernels just keep on running, which include exploitable problems. One example of a faulty very recent commit that has been bisected and fixed because of linux-hardened: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/linux-fbdev.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=acde4003efc16480375543638484d8f13f2e99a3
- When and why did linux-hardened move to lts branch?
-
windows kernel patch guard-like for linux ?
Those two don't protect the kernel itself from "misuse". To do that, there are ways like kernel hardening 3, using hardened kernel 4 5.
