First of all, thank you for bringing this important project to life.
I always dreamed of a sane midpoint between Mullvad and Librewolf browsers that would combine best practices from both approaches.
Librewolf isn’t based on ESR, and Mullvad has no support for cookies allowlist which kills a plenora of use cases by itself.
And as if it were not enough to ask you also implemented offline mode which I always lacked when sandboxing separate browser instance specifically for LAN-only application to access it’s web-gui. Not forcing users into any extensions and automatic network request does also feel very sane for me.
And the improvement over Librewolf that I enjoy most is font spoofing support.
I have a question. I’ve read that you position Konform closer to GNU IceCat than to LibreWolf, which makes me worry: does Konform provide at least the same level of fingerprinting resistance as Librewolf does, if I 1) revert “Allow non-default theme” and 2) re-enable “Enforce OCSP hard-fail” in settings? I would guess ‘yes’ since it’s a fork of it. Right? Or there is more to it under-the-hood? Use case is try to avoid [advanced] deanonymization technics (yes, I’m aware about Tor and I do use it).
I’ll be very grateful to receive your answer.
And my first bug report:
Konforn, unlike Librewolf, fails Cloudflare verification with error code 600010 consistently across different websites login pages. It occurs in clean profile, all settings stock, with no extensions installed. I tried to select even “Just make it work” settings preset on first startup onboarding screen. It does not resolve the issue. In my tests Librewolf and Konforn are on the same device/network/IP address. Yet Librewolf passes the test even with uBlock Origin and other extensions active. Easy way to reproduce would be to go to NexusMods login page and click “Verify you are human” box.
