Floorp

Floorp is built on Firefox and was built in Japan and is a new browser with excellent privacy & flexibility.

There’s this new browser built on Firefox that seems to be picking up steam on GitHub lately.

It looks like it’s trying to be a more feature-rich, “batteries included”, version of Firefox with hardening out of the box.

Has anyone used it? What do you think about it?

      Why not get the flatpak?

      Security concerns. There’s a lot of debate over it, but from the research I’ve done, I believe the Flatpak of Firefox is less secure, since it seems to remove part of Firefox’s internal sandboxing, and relies heavily on Flatpak’s sandboxing.

      Basically makes it easier to compromise your data within the browser (like cookies, site data, passwords, etc), but maybe harder to get to the rest of your OS.

      I just prefer using the rpm of Firefox with Firejail, as that keeps Firefox’s built-in sandboxing intact, while adding an extra layer similar to Flatpak to restrict it further. Best of both worlds.
