apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won’t be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.
No, xi is just a handy script that does sudo xbps-install with less typing and also helps with installing local packages (ones you built with xbps-src).
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. Mozilla’s 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).
Great! Keep digging, keep asking the right questions and ultimately you will just collect enough reasons to simply not use any other browser, until something even better will appear.
Firefox is the Firefox we all really need and LibreWolf is the Firefox we deserve.
Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry that’s opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesn’t 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 is installed by default on my Linux distro, though
If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version
or enable flatpaks >:)
But still remove the snap version.
choco install
I liked the obsolete shim for that:
cinst- save some letters.Same with
cupinstead ofchoco update.I’ve just reinstated them anyway.
apt-get, bitches.And don’t forget to close the door on the way out!

apt is a wrapper of a wrapper for dpkg.
That’s like dnf is a wrapper for yum which is a wrapper for rpm.
The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
You don’t use Arch, btw
OUT.
This is now cool people thread.
Eh, Debian still ships ESR
And ESR kinda sucks if you want an updated browser.
I miss the days when they shipped Iceweasel.
You mean “pre-installed with most DEs”…
Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won’t be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.
I think it’s just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.
KDE on Arch didn’t install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.
🙁
You misspelled
pacmanyay your ass outta here
Get rid of that old yay yay ass haircut
Arch puns. As an Arch user, I admit this is hilarious.
I use Arch btw.
Are you sure you don’t want the binary?
It takes me like 10 minutes to compile these days :D. Before, yes.
Compiling by myself is always worth it for the
-telemetryimoyay -S firefox
Nope, the correct way is
sudo xbps-install -Suv firefox.I was wondering where the Void guys at…
Present ✌️
Check out
xifromxtools.Why, it’s not the right package name?
No, xi is just a handy script that does
sudo xbps-installwith less typing and also helps with installing local packages (ones you built with xbps-src).Oh, cool, didn’t know that, thanks 👍.
But xbps is still keeps track of installed packages, right, xi is just a script.
sudo pacman -S firefox
I used chocolatey to install firefox…
yay -S firefox
All you need is pacman.
scoop install firefox+1 for scoop, always use it when I’m on windows.
$ flatpak install app/org.mozilla.Firefox 😎
Declarative NixOS config. Copy this to your nixos config file to get my exact librewolf config.
I see you are a man of culture as well
As a dev, a declarative OPERATING SYSTEM is a literal dream. Nix shells are really nice too.
One day, one day I’ll be brave enough to use it.
Hell yeah it is
i love you
is this nixos or home manager?
they look exactly the same
I think NixOS, I believe in HM you declare extensions per-profile
It’s technically an invalid config (the extensions part), but other than that it’s using home manager.
I’d never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused

The correct way wouldn’t be on windows I can tell you that
Indeed. Linux is superior. Linux > Windows.
I use Arch btw.
sudo pacman -S firefoxI use arch btw
I also use Arch btw.
I use Artix btw
pacmansupremacynix-shell -p firefox
Wait how is your pfp spinning?
On Kbin, you can set a gif as your pfp.
Spin.
