  • DESKTOP: Rather than automatically grabbing the latest version of our assets.json configuration file for uBlock Origin, we now specify a specific commit and download it directly from Phoenix's Codeberg repo. This helps to improve trust/transparency and security, by ensuring the file is only updated with the rest of Phoenix (rather than updating on its own) - meaning it's easier to audit, and keeps the user always in control. - assetsBootstrapLocation (Policy) & librewolf.uBO.assetsBootstrapLocation -> https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/raw/commit/08d147ee865c1d740540e8ec83c758d7a4df3e8b/uBlock/assets.json - https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/issues/48#issuecomment-2665313 #4 (comment)

  • DESKTOP: Similar to the assets.json file, we now also specify both a specific commit and specific version for our included search engines/'extensions' in policies.json, and we explicitly disable automatic/out of band updates for them - meaning these 'extensions' are now also only updated alongside the rest of Phoenix, and never on their own. This further helps to improve transparency/auditability and protect users. - https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/issues/48#issuecomment-2665313 #4 (comment)

  • DESKTOP: Similar to what we've already been doing on Android, we now manually enable various ETP/ETP Strict tracking protections/features. We still enable & enforce ETP Strict itself (meaning we're still covered by Mozilla's updates/enhancements); but unfortunately, Firefox doesn't honor/configure ETP Strict on its first launch, so we need to ensure we also enable these protections manually to always protect users. - https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/commit/4a6e135e3647ef34021e3786f28cc64914554335

  • Set browser.policies.loglevel, geo.provider.network.logging.enabled, & permissions.memory_only to their default values, so that they can be easily set in the about:config... - browser.policies.loglevel -> error, geo.provider.network.logging.enabled & permissions.memory_only -> false

  • Disabled the Beacon API (Navigator.sendBeacon) - beacon.enabled -> false - https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/commit/a3d7322f5de7fe72bf12753e2fa685497a827bcf
