Welcome a new Fennec F-Droid

That’s the thing, how to delete it. Finding it is no problem—it shows up when I type “pCloud”, but no way to delete it, afaik.

EDIT: Ah, I reread and now see what you mean.

Sorry if it’s been mentioned before. Not sure how to scan from terminal, or whether a package manager shows the info better… Probably does, but here are 3 trackers and one logger still present in Fennec:

Here’s what Classy says:

@conditae
Those are stubs, they do not do anything.

What you mean that they dont do nothing , when in Fdroid app still says that send info to Mozilla and Google?

@PorFin
I mean the code for those trackers is empty, and does absolutely nothing.

There are other requests the browser makes

  • tracking protection lists
  • safebrowsing lists
  • search engine update lists
  • add-on lists
  • blocked add-on lists
  • update checking
  • feedback reporting
  • release notes
  • mozilla news snippets
  • pocket integration
  • error reporting
  • crash reporting
  • wifi location lookup
  • network connectivity checks
  • firefox sync
  • etc.

Hosts for blocking at least some of these requests. If anyone has more please consider expanding or updating this.

These are contacted by Fennec today or generally by the upstream Firefox?

Yes. Lol. See Anti-features. :smiley:

I think only “shavar…” (safebrowsing) is automatically contacted by Fennec but I don’t know how it behaves under certain conditions.

Initial start of Fennec F-Droid is:

shavar.services.mozilla.com.
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com.
tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net.
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net.
services.addons.mozilla.org.
addons.cdn.mozilla.net.

Initial start of Firefox is:

location.services.mozilla.com.
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com.
shavar.services.mozilla.com.
tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net.
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net.
www.google.com.
services.addons.mozilla.org.
addons.cdn.mozilla.net.

Antifeatures are something, actual behaviour might differ.

Vulnerabilities are found every month, what made you post about them this time? :slight_smile:

BTW I pushed the 81.1.3 update today: Update Fennec F-Droid to 88.1.3 (2292428b) · Commits · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

:slight_smile: looked more of interest

@Morgoth @semevos and others: I’m sorry about the late reaction to your requests. as you asked, I’ve updated the addonliberator collection with the following addons:

Redirect AMP to HTML
Privacy Redirect
Dark Reader
Save as PDF
Save PDF

@relan are you looking after Fennec, please?

What’s up?

Nothing up, I just noticed that there is a fork of fennecbuild and was curious.

I know that Tad maintains a fork of fennecbuild for Mull. No idea about others, I don’t track who and how uses my code, but they are welcome to do this of course :slight_smile:
