Does anyone know if or when Abrowser 57 will be available for Trisquel 7.0?
I have also installed FF Quantum recently and it is really great in terms of
speed and new features but I came across some really sad news about Mozilla.
They are implementing DRM on videos played with their browser, also they are
spying on the users, removing people from the rise up mail
Waterfox, Abrowser or Iceweasel if your using hyperbola/parabola.
No addon was ever installed here and that's because the relevant feature was
disabled here so that shit would not work...
There are many websites dealing with FF antifeatures or security or privacy
issues but really I think all you need is this one user.js file (and
noscript)..

While I can understand that this was not handled well in terms of public
relations, I think it's mostly a manufactured outrage (an excuse to be
righteously
I guess my biggest requirement for a browser is that its completely FOSS, and
doesn't have any proprietary code built into it. So something like Pale Moon
is out for me.
Tor was just too slow last time I used it. I am fine with some tracking as
long as I consent to it. Im worried about
If your only problem with Firefox is its addon policies, Abrowser is the most
similar alternative that addresses that. The version of Abrowser in the
Trisquel 8 repository has already been updated to version 57.
Icecat would be a good option if you would like some additional privacy
When researching FOSS browsers, you get back firefox, chromium, etc - which
arent totally FOSS.
Why seamonkey over the other ones listed? Are they not totally free? Which
ones of the ones I listed are FOSS?
Pale Moon binaries are proprietary. Why not use Seamonkey if you are happy
with an older design and a more traditional appearance.
Dillo, Netsurf... There's a whole bunch of browsers out there to choose from.

It also solves a lot of security issues that plagued the old extension

No.
Is Firefox Quantum available inside the Trisquel's repositories?
Switching to WebExtensions is important. It standardizes the format for
browser extensions so that you can write an extension once and it will
generally work in any browser that supports browser extensions.
You don't want Mozilla to keep changing the extension format, do you?
WebExtensions is

The fact that all the add-ons have to be re-written just for this quantum
update seems really inconvenient.
It boils down on the writing of the new web browser, I don't see any
problems with updating it those security related addons.
I think the fact it has the "Recommended by Pocket" section on the new tab by
default is quite intrusive. It's basically like an advertisement and it does
seem to be tailored to my interests (which makes me wonder how they got this
information in the first place). I know you can easily

Well, I personally think that the title of this thread would work just fine

But what do I know.
Smooth as silk...
All I've had time to do is install it, but noscript, privacy badger,
etc. are all available now. I started from scratch and haven't tried
importing any of my existing firefox profiles yet.
When I tried to start from scratch with an earlier version of Firefox
while distrohopping, I discovered the
No problem, Heather. I'm glad you are here too. I think we have a great
community here on the Trisquel forum and hopefully we can all move the cause
of free software forward together :-)
I haven't tried Firefox Quantum myself yet, but I will report back if/when I
do.
Yeah I started fresh (I deleted the profile folder).
I think uBlock came preinstalled on the version I got from AUR (on
Hyperbola). I think the offending add-on is the color inverter -
unfortunately the interface is unusable with inverted colors unlike
Seamonkey. It takes a whole second to
Did you start fresh when you installed it? Also ublock should definitely not
come preinstalled..
I recommend you purge your .mozilla folder in home and your mozilla cache in
/home/.cache, start it up and install one addon at the time, so you can spot
the one that is slowing it down for you.
For me the latest abrowser (57) is very slow. Startup is fast, but it now
takes me over 4 seconds to completely load a page, e.g. Slashdot. I'm using
the following enabled add-ons: Dark Background and Light Text, NoScript, User

I like the 'density - compact' in customize, less space taken by GUI, more
space for teh site. I heard in the next version or two there will also be an
option to hide the titlebar, thet's even more space, very useful for those

Another good website to check the fingerprint is https://browserprint.info/

That should disable it completely I guess.

Wow, so, they did a great job.
Trisquel 8.0 I have it installed.
Just a friendly reminder for those using the new noscript extension and
having troubles figuring out how to make it as secure as the old one (well,
almost.. clickjacking and ABE are still missing).
Instead of untrusting websites and making long list just make your default
'all unchecked'.
Sure, vita_cell, it's an old (2007) laptop, AMD cpu dual core 1900 Mhz max, 3
gb RAM (old original ram), GPU old nvidia.
A 2007 laptop completely loading Firefox in 5 seconds on each subsequent
load, and then running smooth as hell all the time on all websites -
fantastic :)
Don't have to
The noscript tag isn't "served" based on what the server thinks, it's a
browser behavior to cause content within those tags to be visible. The
problem is that the extensions in question don't actually disable JavaScript,
so Firefox's un-hiding of these elements is not triggered. In the

I was asking if the joke was funny because it was an implication that IceCat
is simultaneously dead and alive, and you won't know until you install it.
SuperTramp can you share your computer hardware specifications?
Do you use/are there extensions for password-store?
I don't get the joke. Could you explain?
Firefox is the only free browser that can run free web apps.
What?! Really?!

Quantum really does kick ass. I can't wait for Abrowser 57. (Firefox is
filled with annoying ads and links to services that require proprietary
JavaScript.)
Really? So version 48 supports both? In that case, I wonder what took all the
add-on developers so long to convert their extensions over.
When my browser got updated, there were no add-ons that could turn JavaScript
off. Now there are two that I'm aware of, and both are completely inadequate
Abrowser is already updated to version 57.0 :)
Well, I have used it for a couple of days with javascript.enabled turned off
in about:config. Today I installed noscript, which is also the only addon I
have used lately.. So, I am set :)
>Guys if new Firefox flies, what about RAM consumption?
It is very good. Vanilla FF without addons takes approximately 140 mb RAM
here while 52 used to take around 210..
But really, the big difference is noticeable on old hardware and on heavy
pages. Diaspora for example, the feeling I
I wish Mozilla had done a release that supported both types of add-ons so
that the add-on transition could be smoother. But oh well, what's done is
done.
Good question! My biggest issue with the old Firefox was that it quickly
shovelled all of my RAM into a burlap sack and then made all my other
applications ask *very* nicely, if they ever wanted to use any of it ..
"You other guys aren't going to be needing any of this, are you?" ;)
Who needs ultra 4k HD icons?
Guys if new Firefox flies, what about RAM consumption?
Supertramp
Monsenor what version did you downloaded from? what version for windows,
debian or a specific one.
Once 59 ESR comes out.
Yay! Do you think Tor Browser will use this as its new base?
However, Abrowser will be (or "is") on the Trisquel repos? Because Parabola
hackers haves some issues for compile it and I don't know if the rebranding
proceeding has been changed for Firefox Quantum.
I've tested Firefox 57 and floats!
I guess I will try 57 out, but I'm sticking with 52 ESR until 59 ESR comes
out. Hopefully by then all of my addons will have WebExtensions versions...
(By the way a WebExtensions version of NoScript is out.)
Thanks for the tip. It is pretty fast indeed.
Really thought you're talking about me!!
I dislike the new icon though. Icons are becoming simpler even as computers
are becoming more powerful and therefore less burdened by detailed and
complex icons.
Sounds good to me. I'm sticking to Icecat as much as I can as long as I
can, but relieved that it's not all bad news.
When we gets the Icecat version?
(I propose we call it 'Schrodinger's Icecat' ;-) )
I can confirm: 57 really flies. I’ll stick to FF ESR, though, until
Noscript is out.
So.. I was curious so yesterday I downloaded it to try and see, and oh boy oh
boy is it smooth and snappy. Firefox is back from the limbo of bloated
crapware it would appear. If you use older hardware like myself you are in
for a big surprise. About time Mouzilla, about time :)
