settings VS bromite

Hi all, please use this issue to vote on moving our repositories away from Gitlab.com into Codeberg.org. The issue can also be used for further discussion... [vote]

https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/ is the best place to discuss these specific settings..

For the build changes and changes to the source code we have a very infrequent and non-exhaustive change log here https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases, changes to the browser settings are documented in a better way in https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/docs/Changelog.md

I created an MR for this, we'll see if it makes it through..

Sorry that I didn't see this post before, and I'm not sure, but we're adding https certs making it trivial to hijack https? Umm that's not good, thanks for bringing it up. Yes, could you please make it a ticket here? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues

This might be a settings issue. Could you please file an issue with the settings repository? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues

The LibreWolf "user.js" you are looking for is this one: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/librewolf.cfg . But I am pretty sure just using that for Android wont be trivial since there are other prefs/default for android. I would instead just go with Mull, which is pretty much the android equvalent of LibreWolf.

Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Bromite hasn't been updated since December: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
