My home page is blank. My search engine is duckduck go.

I only have adblock and noscript.

I want firefox to not access google - ever. Right now it shows that it connects and maintains a connection permanently.

I find it infuritating actually.

    I don’t want to have to “taint” my distro install by adding a repo. I want it to be available from my distro’s official repo.

      Nothing tainted about it. It’s actually one of the easiest ways to get a package you want/need. I appreciate anyone who maintains my precious librewolf package.

      Adding a repo is not “tainting” an install. Adding a package to the official repo is not the responsibility of the devs but of Debian’s package maintainers.

          The only relevant part in that link is this:

          Some third-party repositories might appear safe to use as they contain only packages that have no equivalent in Debian. However, there are no guarantees that any repository will not add more packages in future, leading to breakage.

          And you should be safe about this.

          As I was saying, the devs are not responsible for including the package to the official repo. You are owed nothing and have plenty of other options to install it.

          As for your bottom line remember the contributors are working on it for free, they are not selling anything. So they are not running after more users. It’s good as it is, non technical people can use flatpack or AppImage and technical people can add a repo without issues.

          And someday someone could add it to the official repo, it could be you.

      You’re going to miss out on great software with that approach. Even for packages that have a Debian apt version, I find it much safer to get it from the maintainers official repos. Get the same version as the apt package if you must.

        Of course not; it’s the distro that makes the call. But I want the Librewolf folks to make the effort to get accepted by the distro.
