Hello.
I agree with you that security should be a top priority. And I believe
Trisquel already has a good security measure: only free software =)
However, I agree with you that SOME minor things could be improved. One other
would be to have ufw installed by default. NOw, I have read some people
explaining that Trisquel is secure enough without the firewall, and that
having it installed would cause confusion to some people, misleading them to
think that Trisquel is not secure without a firewall. I disagree, ufw is a
damn small piece of software that can be used by power users only if they see
fit. I for example, due to some concerns over my ISP, like to have all ports
closed. It's legitimate and I don't really feel confortable installing it
when I install Trisquel fresh. I don't think it's a need for everyone, and
therefore understand Trisque team for not having it, but for me
personally.... It would be helpful =/
Still, as far as the browser is concerned, you can actually make it a little
bit more secure by installing some addons like noscritp, adblock,
disconnect... Unninstal Gnash... There are still things to be improved, but
at least I believe we can be a little bit secure that way =)
As I have no input in the development of Trisquel I can't say anything for
sure, but maybe with the "LTS releases only, focus on security updates"
policy, maybe the Abrowser will get more attention soon =)
