smart-referer VS Gcam-Services-Provider

Note that some sites depend on referrer and might break with this.

Here's a list of them maintained by the extension mentioned above: https://gitlab.com/smart-referrer/smart-referer/-/blob/gh-pa...

Now the problem is that it hasn't been updated since 3 years(last updated on Dec 18, 2019 according to AMO). Last commit on its gitlab repository was done on Sept 15, 2020. Now I am no developer, but I am sure that there has been quite a few changes in Firefox and some heavily discussed changes like MV3 and others are making its way to the browser as well. The add-on seems to have been abandoned by the developer judging by the activity in the repository.

Well there's a read me here that talks about whitelists etc. From a quick look it seems like you could probably accomplish the same thing with ClearURLs or similar. The default whitelist seems to be out of date by three years. Isn't this thing abandoned?

Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If not, is there an option too? I saw this (GitLab - Smart Referrer) but I wasn't sure if it was necessary if Firefox and/or Brave already does this for me.

Smart Referrer Control -- Defer Referring information in a smart way

Source code is on gitlab

I would also recommend Smart Referrer and ETag Stoppa.

So when I install gcam services provider app https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider System says *package already exists.

My goal for today is to get photos as good as Google Camera, on my Graphene'd Pixel 4. GrapheneOS's camera just wasn't cutting it for me, so I installed this: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider And then Google Camera and Google Photos. I'm not logged into my Google account for Google Photos, and I used the above link in order to not install GSF.

You don't need microG to use Google camera, Gcam services provider is sufficient.

If you don't plan on using Gapps, you can use GCam Services provider and a GCam app.

you can try this instead: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

Get Gcam services provider - essentially the Camera/Photos

Its also important to note, that this app only works without google services if you install a fake-version of those services or have microG installed

If you have MicroG installed, you should be able to use it directly after installing and configuring it. In case you don't have MicroG you can also use this app which fakes the Google dependencies required to run GCam.

Pixel 4a with Graphene OS, only GCam Services Provider (https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider) to be able to use Google Camera. Implementation is super simple and it shouldn't take long to see that it actually does nothing.
