Maybe I’m missing something but it looks like there aren’t actually code changes, rather a repackage with a strict policy file:
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/distribution/policies.json https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/maste...
I was wondering how they could instantly patch nightly builds and this seems to be the approach. Good idea and nice to have a build pipeline that allows tweaking Firefox to this degree.

- programmarchy 5y agoThanks for linking that. Seems like the patches are 95% UI-related. There doesn’t seem to be any significant change related to improving privacy. While I’m grateful to this project for calling attention to the privacy issues with Firefox, most of the effort spent on this seems like replacing the brand. People could get nearly all of the benefit by copying the policy.json file.
