In light of recent user concerns about Firefox's privacy policies, it's time to consider adding support for LibreWolf in our autofirma-nix project. This issue builds upon the previous request for LibreWolf support in #32.
Rationale
- Enhanced Privacy: LibreWolf offers stronger privacy protections compared to Firefox, including:
- Stricter tracking protection12
- Disabling telemetry and data collection12
- Blocking over 3000 trackers and ads by default2
- Improved Security: LibreWolf provides additional security features:
- HTTPS-only mode enabled by default1
- Stricter TLS/SSL negotiation rules1
- Blocking known malware sites2
- User Freedom: LibreWolf is completely open-source and community-driven1, aligning with the principles of our nix-community project.
Implementation Considerations
- Browser Integration: Ensure compatibility with AutoFirma, DNIeRemote, and Configurador FNMT-RCM.
- NixOS Module: Develop a NixOS module for easy integration of LibreWolf.
- Home Manager Support: Create a Home Manager module for user-level configuration.
- Testing: Verify that all existing functionalities work correctly with LibreWolf.
Next Steps
- Investigate LibreWolf's compatibility with our current setup.
- Draft initial NixOS and Home Manager modules for LibreWolf integration.
- Test the integration with our existing tools.
- Update documentation to include LibreWolf as a supported browser option.
This addition will provide our users with a more privacy-focused alternative while maintaining the functionality they need for interacting with Spain's public administration tools.
