Phoenix is not a browser, is it? AFAIK it's a similar user.js to Arkenfox... They claim to be better, and have their on comparison, but I don't know:

Arkenfox has been like the default user.js for privacy... Perhaps phoenix already is better...
Maybe @[email protected] or @[email protected]. BTW I remember about [email protected] but I think it didn't survive, and on lemmy instances this is the only Librewolf community.
Well it's a bit confusing. On Guix' wiki General features you can read:
Guix keeps track of these references automatically so that installed packages can be garbage collected when no other package depends on them - at the cost of greater storage requirements, all upgrades in Guix are guaranteed to be both atomic and can be rolled back.
The roll-back feature of Guix is inherited from the design of Nix and is rarely found in other operating systems, since it requires an unorthodox approach to how the system should function (see MicroOS).
And then on its wiki Guix System (operating system) Roll-back you can read:
This is accomplished by a combination of Guix's functional package manager, which treats each package and system configuration as an immutable and reproducible entity,[58] and the generation system which maintains a history of system configurations as "generations."
So the system configurations on a Guix system are actually immutable, as opposed to regular gnu+linux distributions, which can change the system configuration on the fly. What else is immutable on Guix, I can't tell, but at least you can not change its system configs. What is atomic is the upgrades.
I'm not sure, but as Guix borrowed these properties from Nix, I'd think this applies to Nix as well.
In other words, at least the Guix system has immutable components. And further, the system config which is immutable, is also declarative. Combining those two things might be intimidating, since it's not like on the fly one can go and change the system config, which might be required when debugging some misbehavior, and it's what most distros document, then one needs to learn about guile, and a bit about functional programming I guess or at least their basics... Deploying systems might take advantage of such declarative configurations though...
It's been a while since extensions need to be signed for FF to enable them. Not sure if Librewolf build scripts do something about it, but the config is not configured by default:
% grep xpinstall.signatures.required /usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg
%
and if you look for it on about:config, it's enabled. So far it's functionality is mainly to sort of not allowing dangerous extensions, though that promise can't really be fulfilled, and besides, and it's true the feature can be abused, but it's not something new for FF, not sure why that petition is showing up just now, hmm. For the apps I use, this hadn't posed a problem on Librewolf so far.
But it's been a while I don't see Librewolf devs around this community and the other lemmy one I know [email protected] seems abandoned. Perhaps someone is familiar with Librewolf build scripts...
Regarding omemo, dino is getting there, see its closed issue 1609. Not sure why it has taken them too long for a new release, but they have the stuff already merged.
Ups, I just got to enjoy piped and in particular pipeline on gnu+linux and libretube on AOSP.
Pipeline in particular allows to totally avoid electron (freetube), and in both cases the piped instance is the one communicating with youtube, not me, :) And both applications support sponsorblock (tubular does, but newpipe doesn't). But not talking directly to youtube is a win. Did I mention dropping another electron app, :) ?
But... I installed pipeline from AUR, because I don't like flatpak... Not sure if other user repos offer it as well...
I'm interested on what changed that make it differ from Mull in a non recommended way. Are you referring to their 1st MR? where they outline:
I understand Mull was using arkenfox which is sort of the go-to reference, and now ironfox move to phoenix. The safe browsing is the same approach Librewolf follows, though I don't like their comment on a proxy. I don't like their choice of the brave search engine, but I always replace that with searxng tweaked a bit.
The MR doc doesn't look too terrible, but don't know about the changes themselves.
As mentione SMS is by no means secure, and although silence hadn't gotten any update, still works as a champ on Android 15.
What works for me is freetube on desktop, and tubular/newpipe on AOSP.
Can you explain why if someone get access to your encrypted disk, they would have access to its contents?
