No, guix did not present their work to the work-group - they entered the conversation briefly after some people had been cross-posting to the mailing lists of guix, the FSDG, and GNU, in opposition to the decision to add chromium to guix - when asked to help the work-group to resolve the conflict with the FSDG, the guix representatives declined, and suggested that people who want to resolve the conflict, should study the guix build recipe themselves, to determine if it is FSDG-fit - thats not to mention the massive source code, which is the main reason why this was not already resolved, years before guix was interested in it Until the FSDG recommendation for chromium validates the guix recipe, this packaging request reduces to a duplicate of the original from 7 years ago #140 because no new information has come to light since it was last discussed in 2018, which would change the FSDG recommendation - if this issue was as easily resolved as guix contends it to be parabola probably would have added chromium 7 years ago
Iridium or icecat software#
Use your own set of privacy addons like Umatrix/Ematrix, Decentraleye, Nocript, Ublock origin that gives you much better privacy.Yes indeed that would be awesome, if the guix recipe were generally accepted to be FSDG-fit but currently, only guix has deemed it to be so - the standing consensus of the FSDG work-group is that neither chromium nor any of its derivatives are convincingly within the FDSG and by Feb 2018, the one FSDG distro that still distributed it (pureos), had removed it from their standard repos for this reason, closing a long standing freedom-bug report on their bug trackerĮven if we wanted chromium, the blocker is that it is on the "List of software that does not respect the Free System Distribution Guidelines" which offers recommended liberation procedures, and is among the FSDG criteria - if the guix recipe were acceptable, parabola probably would have done the same years ago, before guix and pureos existed and today it would be guix and pureos duplicating the parabola recipe - the key point though, is that it would not be "the parabola recipe" - it would have been presented to the FSDG work-group for evaluation and if the consensus were that it was an acceptable liberation procedure, then (as the first any only example to date) it would have become the standard FSDG recommendation for any FSDG distro that wants to package chromium - the corollary to that key point, is that if the consensus among the FSDG work-group were that it was not acceptable, then parabola would not have added itĪs of today, no such liberation procedure yet exists and the DSFG "Recommended Fix" is still: "Remove program/package. Remember that developers whitelist trackers many times from built in protections. Though vanilla versions have started limit user control but many forks still respect.Īnd do not fall for built in privacy protections scam. If you want something else UXP browsers like Palememe and and Basilik based browsers are great alternatives.
If you really need to use big browser use either Ungoogled Chromium or Librewolf (Firefox based).
Iridium or icecat full#
That is same fingerprinting as other violators.Īlso their developers don't care about user concerns.Īnd forget about building it from source since there is no full source code that makes it not to be open source. It sends telemetry that includes your profile unique ID, screen resolution and your IP. Here some more sauce to support my findings Once safebrowsing blocks one they add another. Safebrowsing always been obsolete since malware sites got so many domains ready. Also developers refuse to address issue saying "it only downloads them for local use".
Iridium or icecat download#
Why safe browsing is issue? Since browser needs to connect on Google servers to download file and that means excess connection. That still exist on latest version of iridium. Iridium got one problem that developers wont address and that is google safebrowsing And librejs is pretty useless for privacy actually as it only cares from javascript licence and not what JS does in your system. Only thing it adds is libreJS that can also be downloaded other browsers. GNU icecat is okayish but I rather recommend librewolf.
Other browser alternatives I suggest reviewing are Epic Privacy Browser, GNU Icecat, Iridium, and Vivaldi.įirst one I never heard about but that name suggest it is not private at all.
