Why not fork Firefox? Or just disable the tracking?
- cookiengineer 5y ago> Why not fork Firefox? > Why not fork Electron/Chromium/nwjs? Tried it and gave up. It's impossible. Repotools, manifests and submodule fatigue and other things make it close to impossible to host all the code yourself and build it, because many parts of the build toolchain and codebase contain includes via git/https URLs these days. That's why I went with WebKit, because there I clone a single repo, install the dependencies/libraries, build it and have a running Browser. Without having to have internet all the time, without dozens of repos that are out of my control.
