apt-get, bitches.
And donβt forget to close the door on the way out!
The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?
But then again, Iβm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.
I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and⦠um⦠why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?
apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. Itβs not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
programs.librewolf = {
enable = true;
extensions = with pkgs.librewolf.extensions; [
ublock-origin
canvas-blocker
wappalyzer
user-agent-switcher
];
};
Declarative NixOS config. Copy this to your nixos config file to get my exact librewolf config.
As a dev, a declarative OPERATING SYSTEM is a literal dream. Nix shells are really nice too.
Iβd never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused
Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry thatβs opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesnβt have many privacy protections. Librewolf comes with ublock origin (which blocks trackers and annoyances as well as ads), has extreme fingerprinting protection, and has no google stuff out of the box.
Firefox has telemetry and has become adware. Mozilla VPN ads pop up every once in a while. Sponsored bullshit on the home screen. Pocket integration with recommended/sponsored content. Mozillaβs becoming what it set out to destroy unfortunately.
LibreWolf is Firefox without this garbage, plus more privacy focused defaults. Some of those defaults are rather extreme though so I recommend toning it back (such as deleting history/cookies after every session, and resist fingerprinting can screw up anything that displays time by not taking your time zone into account).
sudo pacman -S firefox
The correct way wouldnβt be on windows I can tell you that
yay -S firefox
