My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

    Automatic openings? Like default Webbrowser? Also dont use Appimages, just dont.

    Depending on the Distro I recommend using Firefox or Brave, add their signed repo and call it a day.

      Exactly default browser. Yes I tryed native and flatpak packages but it would constantly open all other browser instead of librewolf. Even if I defined a other one in the mineapps file

        No default browser works normally but no idea how to set that in Hyprland.

        I highly advise against Appimages. Flatpak is only useful if you dont trust the app which is a valid opinion, but poorly then the browser cant sandbox websites on its own. So native packages are the best option for security it you trust the browser.

        Perfect would be to have the browser isolated and also using its sandbox to isolate websites from each other. I dont know if this works though, on Android it does (not with Firefox poorly as they didnt implement it)

          So one vor two days later anx I can say now that I switch from thorium to ungoogled chromium Wayland. Didn’t have issues with defaults and yea its pretty much the same

            Cool! Brave is best for fingerprinting protection, the pretty much plain Chromiums dont really have that.

                No the base Browser needs to be hardened. On top of that you can install addons but privacy badger is pretty weak afaik, and canvas is just one vector. There still is UA, Apis, referrer policies, WebGL etc

                  Yea I can do that. I mean it will take a time but it should be possible. Tbh just don’t wanna use brave. www.deviceinfo.me is a hood site for checking how hard you browser i s hardened

                    Thats most often privacy improvements and not hardening, two different things.

                    I dont wanna use Chromium, but if I would, I would use Brave.
