Hello people,I'd like to request your help to test the next 136 Abrowser release, as it will be available for testing over the week,
This release has one key change: DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is now disabled by default starting with version 136.
This decision is based on the recent Terms of Service (ToS) update by Mozilla. I'm not a lawyer, but AFAIK, Abrowser is not subject to those terms, since it is rebranded and recompiled entirely from source, I believe it’s safer to disable Mozilla-hosted services by default, including DoH, so there is no future requirement to Abrowser users to accept some TOS.
That said, there's a trade-off: while DoH can improve security by encrypting DNS queries, it may also introduce privacy concerns, as the DoH provider (often a centralized service) can log and track DNS requests.
Users must decide whether they prefer to trust a centralized encrypted resolver, or continue using their ISP's DNS (typically unencrypted). Each choice has some level of privacy and security implications. However, the use of DoH falls outside the scope of Abrowser or Trisquel support umbrella, so users should made an informed choice of what's best for them.
Please note: this change *only* affects new profiles. If you're using a new profile and wish to re-enable DoH via Mozilla by default or at your will any other provider, you can do so via about:preferences#privacy under "DNS over HTTPS", or manually through about:config.
Additionally, the about:rights page now links to Trisquel’s legal disclaimer, and other tweaks were made to strengthen privacy by disabling usage pings and unsolicited remote connections.
As I've mentioned before you can find this release on the testing repo: echo "# Testing updates repository. debhttp://builds.trisquel.org/repos-testing/aramo aramo main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list wgethttps://builds.trisquel.org/repos/signkey.asc -O /tmp/key.asc cat /tmp/key.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/builds-repo-key.gpg >/dev/nullVersion 136 has just reached its 4th maintenance release, so the testing window will likely remain open by next weekend, don't hesitate to show up at the development meeting (Wednesday, April 2nd) and share your thoughts about it. If you notice anything broken or unexpected, please don’t hesitate to report it.
Finally, a reminder: Nabia will reach End of Life (EOL) soon. Please migrate to Aramo at your earliest convenience, as Nabia will no longer receive security updates after some weeks.
