From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I will try hardened_malloc, I already use it on my phone. I have GrapheneOS.
Same. It works really well, I am doing some kind of project building a hardened Firefox. It has hardened build parameters, removed jemalloc (so it uses hardened_malloc, otherwise it fails to start with memory issues), and I also experiment with various optimization flags as I have a x86_64-v4 intel CPU.
This repo is also interesting.
Secureblue has Chromium preinstalled with a hardening and also privacy policy, but I used googerteller and damn that thing pings Google every second, its scary.
Now I've installed it and Librewolf works nornally. Is that normal or is malloc not working or is Librewolf compiled with hardened malloc?
I've heard about googerteller and I never thought someone will use it (except to try it)
Librewolf uses jemalloc and I have no idea but Flatpak browsers are not broken.
I also asked Fedora people and Fedora Firefox also allows replacing the malloc, but as the package is already removed from the image you cant normally install it back.
Yup, googerteller is damn scary. Chromium contacts Google when opening the profile picker, loading the addons, listing saved passwords
