🎄 Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! 🎅
Since the last release:
-
Fixed sanitizing cookies & site data by default. This was already Phoenix's intended behavior, but it appears to have been working improperly - so this fixes it. Preferences related to sanitizing are also now unlocked - so you may easily override this behavior via
about:preferences#privacyor theabout:configif desired (though this is not recommended). -
Added support for installing Phoenix on macOS if Firefox is installed in ~/Applications (Previously, only /Applications was supported).
-
Hardened Firefox's sandboxing - 6927a98.
-
Removed useless Firefox View preferences - ae60e05.
-
Set 'browser.search.separatePrivateDefault' to false by default to ensure Google isn't set as the default search engine for private browsing windows...
-
WebXR/Virtual Reality is now only disabled by default, instead of being locked. This preference isn't fingerprintable - still useful to disable by default for reducing attack surface, but now users can override & enable this functionality if they really want to for whatever reason.
-
Unlocked preferences so that users may now disable automatic updates of add-ons and system extensions via the
about:config- though this is NOT RECOMMENDED. -
We no longer enable Web Task Scheduling (`'dom.enable_web_task_scheduling') by default - as it appears to be causing issues (yokoffing/Betterfox#355) & is still experimental.
-
Extensions can now only be installed from profile & application directories - This prevents extensions being installed from the system itself/via other programs...
-
Revamped & heavily improved Phoenix's
README& Wiki/Documentation. -
General clean-up & improvements to project organization.
-
Various tweaks & fixes.
