ModdIt
hi calciumsodium,
we installed differently I have LW in usr/share/librewolf/librewolf. I like the browser and way devs openly and factualy
explain what they do on the code base then compiled browser and why. Much is done with userchrome css and js settings.
Probably for easier maintenance and testing, changing flags and recompiling is very time consuming.
It also provides a nice toolbox for playing with FF LTS. Due compile options many/most Enterprise policys (css settings)
are innefective on latest.
Performance wise I see little difference to UngoogledChromium depending on site visited, network is also similarly quiet.
Caching not as crazy as with chrome based browsers. Even Vivaldi can fill gigabytes very quickly.
Updates are now pretty quick from librewolf project, I am guessing much is automated.
None of my browsers start maximised, all sizes are chosen for a common screen resolution, just different to the monitor maximum. :-).
Browser fingerprinting and cross site tracking is something I dislike intensly and is very efficient even if you try and prevent it.
A while back I did some experiments, regularly searched for fancy ladies underwear in XL but never went near to amazon.
First login suggested exactly what I had been searching for and viewing. That might not be passed on directly due the searches, my main
suspect was the cache. Website startup graphics cache is known to be usable as a supercooky solution. btw, last time I checked chrome was
set to keep that data 7 years or until the cache size only left something crazy like 20% space free. that lead to failed login and browser
caching now in temp.
Have a dig around in the cache area, you will find it is misused in many ways.
Reading about the compiled in glean function in FF is also revealing about Moz and respect for users. Gleaning is gathering.
