Maintaining Konform Browser and some other bits and bobs.
LibreWolf is a great project but was killing my eyes at night by not being able to follow dark-theme preferences in Private Mode. So it was forked into what is now Konform Browser. Besides unlocking theming and some other privacy-related tweaks on the preferences pane, it goes even further than LW in disabling built-in remote connections, snoopware, and AI integrations.
If you are a Linux user who haven’t yet found the right Firefox fork for you I hope you will consider it <3
Konform Browser is more recent Firefox (actually LibreWolf) fork which goes even further in debloating, removing “AI” functionality and disabling remote connections. It’s based on Firefox ESR (like GNUZilla IceCat).
If you have concerns about the telemetry and browser metadata privacy parts of AI integrations, I think Konform, IceCat, Waterfox and Mullvad Browser are a lot more relevant than Zen…
It can. Depends on how you use it. Wear gloves and goggles when handling .ml and political memes on .world and such.
Stories?! In MY games?! We have AI for that at home.
do you even raytrace lol

There is a longer discussion about both what RFP does, how effective it is, and the relative impact on entropy of this feature.
For now I will just say that this: Providing configuration for this serves the projects goal of user control and freedom. It should be up to the user to make that call. Us as developer shouldn’t unilaterally decide on behalf of everyone. Of course we can still provide guidance and put what we believe is sensible as defaults. I find it odd to criticize empowering users in this way, in particular considering the status quo.
Were it up to me, everyone should have Letterboxing on by default, probably with similar reasoning. I don’t see why you wouldn’t use it. Everyone enabling it would make us all (ever so little) less fingerprintable. We still leave configurable.
If you fundamentally disagree, well, not all software has to be for everyone. Probably there is already something else that serves your needs better?
