Zen Browser | Privacy focused, open-source, Firefox Fork
Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe.. Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I'll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true...
You're viewing a single thread.
So, how about the Cachy Browser from CachyOS? (aur)
This repository benefits from the knowledge and research provided by arkenfox, their documentation was vital to this revamp, so special thanks to their project. We do not use arkenfox's user.js but we try to keep up with it, and we also consider it a great resource for users who want to find their own setup.
We encourage users to find their own setup and to use our default configuration as something to build on top of. This is now easier thanks to the overrides, just place your own preferences in the proper location: -> ~/.cachy/cachy.overrides.cfg
Differences from LibreWolf:
- Enhanced security & privacy.
- Gentoo patches. Taken from Gentoo's Firefox.
- uBlock Origin added.
- Moonlight theme added.
- Preset for "Profile Sync Daemon" and Firejail/Firejail(hardened) available.
- Custom Rules for uBlock Origin.
- Custom branding.
Notes and thanks
Some of the older prefs in this project are taken from pyllyukko and many more were investigated on bugzilla.
Thanks to the whole LibreWolf community.
Definitely very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Was thinking about trying CachyOS too.
This OS is good and I've used it for 6months but I want to switch because it packed all of these theming inside and you cannot really remove it
Yeah, the themeing is there. But you can easily uninstall it and other core CachyOS-packages, they're just packages after all. (I've done it)
The other way would be to start with Arch and add CachyOS repositories, that way you can also profit from the v3/v4 packages.
That's cool but the CachyOS repo is not the most interesting thing, the pre-optimized desktop is really nice
Good to know - thanks. I, too, prefer to customize mine in my own way.
Yeah, and it's sad because I didn't find a distro that is really welled tweaked without theming (speaking of CachyOS and Garuda mainly), they are great as their using all the best optimizations in terms of performance but they add this theming...
Yeah, so far my favourite distro for this is Bazzite, still allowed a lot of customization and is well optimised for gaming.
It's a good distro, but seems to be too gaming focused, new techs for gaming that are not really useful
For that, check out Bluefin or Aurora. They're all under the same umbrella as Bazzite, but with a user/developer focus instead of a gaming focus.
Can’t you just not select the themes during the install process of cschyOS?
You can unselected testing etc... But cannot with all of the stuff like the fish shell, and so on. So you need to manually remove all this, and this is not good at all
For some reason I recall being able to choose that during install. I’ll fuck around with the installer later to check. But I agree I use don’t use fish either and had to figure out how to swap over to zsh. It was pretty painless though.
