celenityy/Dove 2025.04.11.1

on GitLab

• Updated to Phoenix 2025.04.11.1.

• Like Phoenix, we've heavily optimized and significantly improved the performance of our uBlock Origin configuration - See here for details on the recommended way to update.

• Similar to Phoenix, extensions can now be installed from sources outside of the ATN (addons.thunderbird.net) and our built-in exceptions. INSTALLING EXTENSIONS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE ATN IS STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED. This gives users greater freedom and control over their communication/social experience, which is one of Dove's primary goals, and it also has other benefits. For instance, with the previous approach, users couldn't override and prevent the sources we allowed (ex. the ATN) from being able to install extensions if they desired. This is no longer the case, meaning users can have an even safer browsing experience if they desire.

• Like Phoenix, we removed our built-in custom add-on recommendations from about:addons, as they're incompatible with our recent changes, simply unnecessary, and provide a better, cleaner UX when disabled. We'll just leave these recommendations on our wiki page. - extensions.getAddons.discovery.api_url & extensions.recommendations.privacyPolicyUrl -> , extensions.getAddons.showPane -> false

• Stopped enforcing extension updates via policies to ensure that users can always disable if desired, though this is STRONGLY discouraged.

• Explicitly enabled the ability to install add-ons by default to expose the setting via the about:config. (Unlike Firefox on Desktop, Thunderbird unfortunately doesn't prompt users on mobile to re-enable this functionality, so we won't set it there by default, but we can still expose it via the about:config to make it easier for users to disable on their own if desired) - xpinstall.enabled -> true

• Fixed the CardBook extension - extensions.experiments.enabled -> true - https://codeberg.org/celenity/Dove/issues/21

• Configured/hardened CardBook (if installed) by default - extensions.cardbook.optionsMigrated -> false, extensions.cardbook.keyTabView, extensions.cardbook.listTabView, extensions.cardbook.localDataEncryption, extensions.cardbook.technicalTabView, extensions.cardbook.vcardTabView, & extensions.cardbook.warnEmptyEmails -> true, & extensions.cardbook.localizeEngine -> OpenStreetMap

• Disabled favicons - browser.chrome.favicons & browser.chrome.site_icons -> false

• Disabled In-App Notifications - mail.inappnotifications.enabled -> false

• Disabled new donation prompts - mail.inappnotifications.donation_enabled -> false

• Disabled surveys - app.survey.version.viewed -> 99 & mail.inappnotifications.blog_enabled -> false

• Disabled update messages - mail.inappnotifications.message_enabled -> false

• Set the new tab page (if used) to blank - browser.newtabpage.enabled -> false

• Hid the Title Bar by default - mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar -> true

• Prevented hiding the tab bar when only one tab is open by default - mail.tabs.autoHide -> false

• Cleaned-up files/improved organization

• Other tweaks & fixes
