Konform Browser 140.12.0-101 has been released!

https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases/tag/140.12.0.101

Contains bug fixes as well as backported security fixes from Mozilla Firefox. Users are advised to upgrade.

See release notes for details and below for highlights.

In this release, patched out unused internal book-keeping processes related to Firefox remote feature flags and telemetry so the browser runs more efficiently and quietly with less spurious use of system resources.

Adjustments also made to the changes to integration with RemoteSettings subsystem: When remote sync has not been available or enabled, things should now work more gracefully offline with stock defaults. A few loose ends where sync requests could be attempted despite user configuration have also been tied up, and potential for proxy bypass when retrying failed sync requests has been closed. Users will still receive security-relevant updates for certificate revoke lists under all presets except "Private Protect".

Internally, the konform/source repo is seeing some outstanding cleanup and chores so the structure should be somewhat more consistent and sources more accessible to others. This is also to have a clean slate and diff for the upcoming major v153 upgrade. Development there is well underway and pre-production alpha releases based on Firefox 153 beta versions can be found for preview and testing on Codeberg.

Current v140esr series remains actively maintained and supported by both upstream and Konform also after v153esr soon goes stable.

Dear @timbl,
I kindly ask you to consider talking to the people at #Mozilla to keep #xml documents with human-friendly rendering via #xslt visible in #Firefox.

Not only needs the web decentralisation, but also raw, machine-readable data in human-friendly appearance. #Feeds, #RDF, etc. Dropping #w3c standards and backwards-compatibiity in this regard makes the web an unreliable medium for long-term publishing and archiving of such documents, even more so for small entities with limited resources. Big players have no problem continuously overhauling their archives to meet the viewers' habits du-jour and adapt to fast-moving, volatile practices.

Please say no to this #enshittification.

Yours,
@mro

P.S.: I pledge a monthly Euro to such a browser.

More breathless, but vague praise for #Mythos. Now #mozilla's CTO has come out with a detail-free, hyperbole-laden blog post.

I can't get anything below the surface level on this blog post. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

The blog post itself contains no links or references (except a link to a prior blog post)
The Firefox 150 release notes has zero mentions of #Claude, #Anthropic, or Mythos.
The security advisories in Firefox 150 lists 41 bugs

Anthropic is credited exactly 3 times.
The blog post says This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation
it is not clear why the blog says 271, the release lists 41 issues, and only 3 acknowledge Anthropic

How is someone supposed to put this blog post's claims into context?

Konform Browser 140.10.1-100 has been released and packages are available!

https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases/tag/140.10.1.100

See release notes for details.

Besides latest security fixes from Firefox ESR 140.10.1, this release also brings a handful of improvements from upstream Firefox as ported by Tor Browser. Users on older versions should upgrade before loading untrusted content.

In other news, Konform Browser Debian repositories are now additionally available for easy installation via extrepo. Also we have a basic website.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ppcland/116882926455601689

This is the kind of dumb assessment bred by the #BuyEuropean narrative:

The #DigitalMarketsAct led to the #Mozilla #Firefox browser to gain 6 million EU users and we whine about it not being "European."

And no need to reply how terrible Mozilla's decision often are, I'm aware. But they currently maintain the only reasonably successful alternative engine to #BigTech and it's #FOSS. Of course this should be celebrated.

Firefox 152 chega cun look renovado e novas funcións, como copiar enderezos ao instante ou silenciar o navegador cun comando simple:

Apoio linguístico ao galego e ao éuscaro, que permite traducir a web sen usar ferramentas externas.

É un exemplo de como as actualizacións técnicas poden servir para reforzar a visibilidade da nosa lingua.
