It is definitely a Firefox fork, the images of the UI are near identical to Firefox, and the one with addons shows the option to search addons.mozilla.org

This made me immediately think of how old American homes in the back of the mirror cabinet of the bathroom just had a slot that fed into the space between the drywall so you could through your razerblades away. Good luck to the renovators in 50 years when they need to remove that drywall and pick up a thousand rusty butterfly-style razerblades. Can't throw those suckers in a plastic trashbag either cus it'll cut right through.

Technically, the best way to blend in is to avoid changing the behaviour much from the default. I would still advise the below settings because they do improve your security, and anti-fingerprinting against naive first-party fingerprinting scripts (all 3rd party scripts/iframes should be blocked, see below: uBlock Medium/Hard). If you need protection against advanced fingerprinting use Tor/Mullvad browser.

uBlock:

• Change uBlock blocking mode to Medium or Hard using the instructions on their Github wiki. Can cause site breakage on shitty websites (eg sites that import large JS libraries from remote sources). It is a substantial improvement over default, see the wiki for medium mode: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode

• Enable filterlist Privacy>Block Outside Intrusion to LAN (Access to LAN is used to fingerprint or by threat actors during reconnaissance phase of hacking)

• Consider enabling other filterlists included in uBlock. Try to minimize enabling extra lists from the default to avoid further fingerprinting.

Librewolf:

• Enable limiting of referrers under LibreWolf Preferences>Privacy>Limit cross-origin referers

• Enable letterboxing under LibreWolf Preferences>Fingerprinting>Enable letterboxing

Hypatia, and all other Divested apps, are dead. The Dev (Tavi) is done with their Android projects.

For a distro, I recommend Fedora KDE Spin. Fedora is beginner friendly, is widely supported, frequent updates (so less outdated packages), rock solid stable, works with gaming or anything else.

People recommend Linux Mint often, but I am just not a fan of how outdated the system is and its reliance on X11 (deprecated and insecure display server). I've daily driven mint before for like a year and it was good but I'm not a fan of cinnamon DE.

All the different tests ive seen comparing Rust and C put compile times in the same ballpark. Even if somehow every test is unrepresentative of real-world compile times, I doubt it is "order[s] of magnitude" worse.

I remember watching someone test the performance of host a HTTP webpage and comparing the performance of Zig, Rust w/ C HTTP library, and Rust native. Rust native easily beat them out and was able to handle like 10s of thousands more client connections. While I know this isnt directly relevant to Kernels, the most popular C HTTP library is most likely quite optimized.

Memory related vulnerabilities are consistently in the top reported vulnerabilities. It is a big deal, and no, you can't just program around it. Everyone makes mistakes, has a bad day, or something on their mind. Moments of human fallibility. Eliminating an entire class of the vulnerabilites while staying competitive with C is a hard task, but entirely worth doing.

OP mentioned that it was the Flatpak version, which doesnt add anything to root owned parts of the filesystem.

Fitejail is a large SETUID binary which weakens security and can aid in privilege escalation. Use Bubblewrap (preinstalled on most Linux systems cus of Flatpak) which runs unpriveleged. Bubblejail is a program that makes it easier to make sandboxes profiles for apps.

I just got the image like this, idk why they did that.

I heard that he was a scammer or pseudo privacy expert from other comments. I wouldn't recommend that phone. If you care about the privacy or security of your device, use DivestOS with a supported Pixel/OnePlus, or GrapheneOS with a Pixel. Only buy the phone new if you are super paranoid of some zero-day vulnerability being used on you. I recommend swappa.com because they have quality control, returns, and good prices for used devices (you can even get mint quality devices).

iodeOS has been behind on security updates often (still better security against unsophisticated attacks than Ubuntu but not a good ROM): https://divestos.org/pages/patch_history
