For some resources on browsers check out
- spyware watch dog and dig deeper.
+ spyware watch dog and dig deeper.
- For addons stay away from the mozilla bullshit and instead use something like
- the gnuzilla thingy.
+ For addons stay away from the mozilla or google bullshit and instead use something like
+ the gnuzilla thingy. You can also find addons on
+ mybrowseraddon than manually install them or
+ something along those lines.
+
+ For a dark mode addon stay away from darkreader. Dont know if its
+ spyware or not but when the browser starts up it makes a bunch of requests which is something a dark
+ mode plugin shouldnt do. Instead use something like dark-mode.
+ Palemoon is a old firefox fork
+ that uses a different rendering engine so it can keep up with
+ newer webstandards while stilling keeping the old interface and support older plugins.
+ Basilisk use to be
+ developed by moonchild and was designed to be kind of like palemoon but based off
+ a bit newer version of firefox. The basilisk team broke off and is now seprate from
+ moonchild but still keeps in close contact with them.
+
+ What version you choose is really up to you and what interface you like more. Both of
+ them are going to struggle to use javascript heavy websites but its ok its I prefer
+ disabling javascript whenever possible and using umatrix to only let in what the
+ site needs to function.
+
+ Even though they are about as good as browsers get these days the developers are still
+ stupidos so you should
+ follow this guide. Its also best you disable webrtc and webgl along with other hardening
+ because even though they are based off older versions of firefox they still support the modern
+ features that make it easier for sites to fucking fingerprint you.
+
+ Ungoogled chromium is what the name says, chromium without the google. I still prefer to
+ avoid anything chromim but if you really want to use a chromium based browser without
+ all the spyware shit you arent going to get any better than this. It hella beats brave
+ brave is fucking terrible. There is a addon that lets you install addons from
+ the chrome store and update them without having to sign into google but I still think
+ the best option is just to manually install the addons to completely avoid google.
+
+ Ungoogled chromium isnt hardened at all by default. Its designed to be a drop in replacement
+ for chrome that is user friendly and doesnt break anything. We dont do that here, for heaven
+ fucking shake at least harden it a little and to do that you can use
+ these flags.
+
+ With manifest v2 on the way out the future of chromium based browsers is fucked. Mozilla is
+ also doing shitty things so we are just in general fucked.
