Re: guix browsers timezones are set to GMT
Hi! di...@santanas.co.za skribis: > I see timezones in browsers on my guix system are set to GMT. IceCat has a privacy feature turned on by default that, among other things, has it not announce its timezone. You can turn that option off by going to “about:config” in IceCat and then turn off “privacy.trackingprotection.enabled”, IIRC. However, that’s coarse-grain. I’d love to have the option to just turn off timezone concealing; anyone knows how to do it? Thanks, Ludo’.

guix browsers timezones are set to GMT
Hi Guix I see timezones in browsers on my guix system are set to GMT. An example would be qutebrowser and guessing ungoogled-chromium which use qtwebengine. Example website is browsing to https://play.grafana.org/d/00012/grafana-play-home?orgId=1 in qutebrowser one can run ":jseval alert(new Date().toString())" From https://play.grafana.org/ and it reports GMT+ . Browsing to the above with epiphany results in the correct local timezone being set. I understand for fingerprinting and privacy it's nice to have a website not detect your correct timezone, though I'd prefer to have my timezone detected correctly in these browsers. Does guix do something special in the packaging of qutebrowser/ungoogled-chromium/qtwebengine that causes this? It seems to not occur on my colleagues systems with the same browsers. I see my timezone on my system like so: (operating-system (host-name "example") (timezone "Africa/Johannesburg") (locale "en_US.utf8")
