While all the patches are an improvement, I'm still on the fence about using it instead of vanilla FF. A browser is too security critical to trust in a handful of random people.
I wonder how tedious would it be to set up a buildserver and audit all the patches and their updates with each release.
- webmobdev 5y agoIf you want a secure Gecko browser, consider the Tor Browser. (The Tor part can be disabled and even removed).
- no_time 5y agoThe Tor browser sacrifices usability for fingerprint resistance and ironically becomes the most unique browser when used on the clearnet. The only way to achieve meaningful fingerprint resistance is either blending in (practically impossible because all browser users are too unique) or enforcing a good baseline which is also impossible because the current market leader, who is in dire need of an antitrust action, is interested in keeping up the status quo.
- grogrecipe 5y agoFingerprint resistance isn’t the only thing it has going for it though. And face it every device has a more or less unique fingerprint, many methods available these days. Much more important is security.
