It seems to be buggy on Neon, which is based on Ubuntu. I would give Fedora Kinoite a try, on a second disk install Fedora Kinoite prerelease and wait until Fedora 40 comes out.
Thats just how it is. There are tons of extensions that also dont work in Plasma5 but its not sorted. There are porting guides for extension developers in the KDE lemmy
If you want to stick with cinnamon, I would recommend ublue-cinnamon images. They are based on atomic fedora which is stable as fuck and can always be rolled back if an update causes trouble. And if something totally breaks, just do rpm-ostree reset and do the changes new, your home is unaffected
Interesting project and very curious how they even get it to build. They use Firefox ESR and compile it with lots of optimizations and maaaany redundant configs. I chatted with developers in the FF Matrix about that, they build firefox with 2 arguments or so, build browser, use official branding.
Many things are duplicate and mercury may be unstable because of that.
The biggest problem is that it doesnt use a CI/CD workflow, so that dude does the builds manually and you can hope to get them in time. And them they are distributed as Appimages, which is a different set of problems
Yes, but Arkenfox is also a bit of a mess. Their tooling is very overcomplex with the updater and all. I went through the entire thing and created this helper project which is also pretty hacky but nearly complete.
I guess random Windows programs are even safer as they may not really work on the host OS.
But still, Bottles is top tier, it works great and is perfectly packaged as a flatpak (no permissions, portal use etc) and pupgui allows to use the latest protonge.
To Librewolf, that is hosted on their own repo, using their own build system. So it could be considered as less trusted than upstream firefox managed by fedora, especially in terms of timely updates. You could also use the Firefox binary, which is very quick (did a benchmark) but you need to do the desktop entry yourself.
Also Librewolf is not security hardened afaik, maybe a few checks are also for security but it should be the same as Firefox. It is privacy optimized. Disadvantage here again is, that if you need a vanilla profile for shitty websites etc, that doesnt exist.
No thats the point. They remove it using rpm-ostree override remove during the Github build process, and is not detected as removed on the device (rpm-ostree reset will not bring it back) but can also not be installed due to already fulfilled. Its a reported bug but that could need more attention.
Thanks! Yeah that is a service running entirely on their site, so permissionwise very good but they get your stuff. There are lots of browser tools running locally using javascript, and images never leave the browser.
I am not a fan because they install all that WINE stuff on the system level which is a huge security degradation.
Running WINE through Bottles with the latest protonGE through PupGUI works on all distros.
If they removed that I would consider it.
Also they remove Firefox and Flatpak Firefox can only use seccomp filters, not sandboxes, which less secure. And due to an rpm-ostree issue those removed packages are never reinstallable.
