On site diversity, my first target would be discord because this is what so many useful software projects use as a community forum, so that would be reusable for many sites. The most basic thing could be to store the scripts and indicate at any later visit of the same site whether the scripts were changed or not and decide whether to run the updated version or not.

So far, I am trying to check the scripts blocked by LibreJS one by one but this is a tedious task and I don't really know how to make a decision on whether to run each script or not (I assume checking the comment on a license is not enough). I looked at Greasemonkey but I couldn't find anything attempting to make a site functional without the site's scripts, not even partially functionnal. I have read and I share your frustration that we don't have an exension able to block a site's script and load the user-installed script instead. I would be interested in your lights on this. Is the FSF still actively promoting IceCat or is that just on not updated web pages? People should rather be warned against using it - for security reasons (I realize most forked browsers are not as delayed and insecure as some online articles say, but IceCat is an exception that is indeed a lot behind). The latest release seems to have recently celebrated its 2nd birthday. > One of those harmful things is recommending of IceCat which is apparently unmaintained. But it is not good enough on other sides.Īnd all this leads me to a conclusion that we should make our own opinions on things like Ungoogled Chromium I am not saying FSF is thoroughly bad - it serves its purpose of officially representing the swfreedom movement. But the final though is this: FSF is not reliable (feel free to ask me to elaborate on that in some new thread). I could go on with LibreJS circus, FSF's git hosting site idea, etc. One of those harmful things is recommending of IceCat which is apparently unmaintained. The actual problem is FSF doing useless of even harmful things *instead* of those important ones. After all, limited amount of resources could be an excuse for that. Seriously thanks so much mw / brent and the others for the detailed info and explanations and even instructions that is so awesome of you.Seriously, it's not just that FSF is not doing many important things that should be done. I had Solus 4.2 on a USB stashed away and it saved my PC so I'm here to stay. Solus was always my fallback option if Arch broke, which I kinda expected it to.

On arch I simply used 'yay' command and that handled it all at once- if only there was such a command on Solus to upgrade everything but I'm still learning.

I'll take the advice to stick with the trinity only (eopkg primarily & flatpak/snap) and update them once a week or so. Installed flatpak and installed ungoogled there and this version works fine. Apparently the way around it is to use the flatpak version. I should have probably titled this post 'are there other package managers besides software manager available for solus' it would have saved lots of meandering on my end 😛įor some reason ungoogled from Snapstore gave me issues, something to do with no-sandbox flags causing bugs and opening new instances each time. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction (& apologies for the naivety 🙂) I'll stick with Software Center & Snap Store. But honestly finding out Snap Store has its own GUI to handle such things resolves my concerns.

I exclusively used yay via terminal to install and update everything, in an effort to keep it stable. I'm here from a broken Arch install after 2 months (6/7/21 - 8/9/21 RIP). But I think I'll go with Ungoogled considering development seems much quieter on Libre's side, I can hardly find people talking about or using it. No autoupdates for either on Windows/Mac, for some reason. Honestly I'm probably the last person who needs such a fortressy browser like Librewolf or Ungoogled but I like the peace-of-mind they provide, and the superficial idea that it makes me feel like I'm getting the most out of my Linux installation. Ungoogled and Heroic (Epic) Launcher are the only apps I need that aren't in the main repos. I was under the impression the Snap/flatpak methods were just ways to do a quick local install of app packages, I assumed I would have to constantly be checking manually for updates myself.
