– 10 prefs were completely removed = just over 2% But if you like, 362 prefs are privacy related (i.e exclude 33 at the end in a “personal” section and the one parrot)Ĭhanges between ESR releases is negligible. If you’re going to compare it to Tor Browser as a project, compare it all. The 169 prefs flipped at most from default are all section 4500 or lower – all privacy relatedĬurrently there are 396 unique prefs in arkenfox – i.e prefs added for info and documented: some are enforced defaults, some are flipped, some are warnings not to change, some are there to tweak – but all are prefs arkenfox added and researched and documented if required The prefs flipped are all privacy related and created by Mozilla, not Tor Browser, and increase privacy, and most eventually ride the train to Hawack Pants is smart if he checks what Tor Browser thinks and does. > There is no use case for a Tor-inspired user.js outside of Tor itself So clearly arkenfox has changed 55/98 of the prefs in common – that’s 56% clearly “not copied”Īnyway you slice and dice it, arkenfox is not a tor copy – 43 matching prefs, both value and state (active/inactive) – 9 prefs with both mismatching values and states – 39 prefs with matching values but inactive in user.js. – 7 prefs with different values but matching state So clearly arkenfox doesn’t have 339/437 tor browser prefs – that’s over 77% “not copied”Īnd clearly arkenfox has 298/396 prefs which tor browser doesn’t even use – that’s over 75% “not copied” because it’s not there to be “copied”

Only 43 out of 735 prefs match – that is less than 6% in common with Tor Browser Iron heart keeps using the word “copy”, i do not think it means what iron heart thinks it means When remembering that lots of the stolen data by third parties often ends in the pocket of the Google or Facebook ad duopoly, that makes even more sense.

Those stores are full of malicious software even according to their own definitions and policies (Ashwin promoted one of them on this site earlier), including look-alike, that they won’t remove even when aware of their existence because that’s not a profitable activity.īecause their stores exist mainly to kick out/downrank software that threatens their business, spy on users, and steal developers’ revenue, while encouraging small spyware as the norm as a sort of infantry screening for the big tech surveillance tanks. The correct version of the browser is already malware-ridden and the best security advice should not be to run further under the boot of Microsoft or Google for “protection”, but to use non malicious alternatives.Īs for the stores of those companies adding a positive contribution to security against at least malware that they don’t approve, it’s also totally false. “And it would be easier for the layman to get the correct version of the browser, instead of obtaining a potentially malware-ridden one.” They had occurences of using background tasks as spyware for business purposes already. And Mozilla installed a background service to check for updates when the browser is not running, which is bad too. In fact Mozilla even removed the option to stop checking for updates, which is bad. That nefarious Microsoft Store isn’t adding anything to that. Timely updates with security fixes (and often with unwanted greyware added too) are already delivered automatically by default with Firefox. That’s why I think having Firefox on the Microsoft Store is a good thing, timely updates with security fixes, that will be delivered automatically.” I use RSS Feeds to make this a little simpler.

Some users were able to install the Store version, and say that it can exist alongside the desktop version. That will be good for users who can install the Store app, and switch to it, without losing their browsing history, extensions and other data. According to the bug-related discussions, the Firefox app will use the same user profile folder as the normal standalone browser. There are a few issues filed on Bugzilla related to this.
