Re: What are your favorite firefox add-ons?

A bit less 'snazz up sites' focused for me. Seems like a lot of us like the privacy add-ons! * Decentraleyes - Keep CDN outages from ruining my day * DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials - I like the site ratings! * Privacy Badger - Tends to find things that uBlock doesn't or can't block outright * uBlock ...

Re: Stealthy Linux backdoor

I saw it and I came to the conclusion that this is just another proof of concept that relies heavily on social engineering in order to get root access. As long as users follow proper security protocols, it's no threat. Yeah, you might be shocked at how many people let strangers into their computers ...

Re: MX19.x What kernel should I be on?

My 25 years says to stick with the mainstream LTS kernel that is compatible with your hardware. 4.19 gets regular backported security and feature fixes (but not enhancements) from upstream, and has 2 1/2 years left of supported life. Upgrading to newer with no compelling reason is often the path of ...

Re: MX19.x What kernel should I be on?

I've been using the Liquorix kernel on my hardware without issues despite my hardware being kind of old. I chose it due to it being updated regularly mostly and plus I was curious.

Re: Default MX Browser is Firefox by Mozilla. Is it time to move on?

For those who want a list... (maybe you can trust this list maker) https://bestvpn.org/best-secure-web-browsers/ I keep seeing "Brave" around a lot, but there is something about it that just doesn't seem right to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I will never personally use it. It's Firefox or ...
