Like Phoenix, this release adds environment variables for macOS users to disable Mozilla's Crash Reporter (like we already set for Linux), which will be set by default for new Dove installations going forward, but won't have an impact on current installs. While it's not required to add these environment variables to continue using Dove, macOS users with existing installations are highly recommended to add them due to the privacy benefits. You can easily set them up by running the following script:
NOTE FOR MACOS USERS:
/bin/zsh -c "$(curl --cert-status --doh-cert-status --no-insecure --no-proxy-insecure --no-sessionid --no-ssl --no-ssl-allow-beast --no-ssl-auto-client-cert --no-ssl-no-revoke --no-ssl-revoke-best-effort --proto -all,https --proto-default https --proto-redir -all,https --show-error -sSL https://gitlab.com/celenityy/Dove/-/raw/pages/installer_scripts/macos_env.sh)"
NOTE: Additionally, macOS (Intel) is now officially supported. Simply run the installation script (or do a manual installation if you prefer...), and choose Intel when prompted. :) This is in addition to various other improvements to the macOS install/uninstall scripts.
It should also be noted that as of this release, like Phoenix, Swisscows has been removed a default search engine due to concerns regarding false marketing of their VPN and spreading false claims about other services, such as Signal.
