I have been testing and using LibreWolf as the main browser this week. I am very happy with the performance.

LibreWolf is very easy to install. I followed the 4 steps, as suggested in their website for installation.

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.librewolf.net $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.list

sudo wget https://deb.librewolf.net/keyring.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/librewolf.gpg

sudo apt update

sudo apt install librewolf -y

Adding the instructions for UngoogledChromium which I use a lot.
Extensions are now installable but @chrome store blocked by monopoly playing google.
I have u Block origin installed, download unpack, install unpacked extension as developer. Downloaded from: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases.
Download zip for chrome.

Search chrome://about/ for a full list of settings and features.
Pls check following are enabled.
Enable Canvas image data fingerprint deception
Enable Canvas::measureText() fingerprint deception
Enable get*ClientRects() fingerprint deception

If you suffer crashes disable graphics acceleration. Keep an eye on cache size which is a problem with ALL chrome based browsers.

I use below code in my .desktop-session/startup file, no more gigabyte size cache, bybye supercooky tracking function of website startup graphics cache.
OT, can be modified to do same for Firefox LibreWolf, Palemeoon. Moving entire cache to temp can be problematic as some applications misuse the area to
save settings.

#Moves chromium cache to temp.  Thanks to xecure. 
#First line only needed if chromium cache exists in home
[ -d "$HOME/.cache/chromium" ] && rm -rf $HOME/.cache/chromium
mkdir -p /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium && ln -sf /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium /home/herold/.cache/chromium
mkdir -p /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium/Default && ln -sf /tmp/herold/.cache/chromium/Default /home/herold/.cache/chromium/Default

Latest Ungoogled Chromium 103.0.5060.134-1 in Portable 64 bit and Appimage are both running fine on antiX testing.

I am running the third party binarys from https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/
Please do check sha sums are correct before unpacking the archives.

Last time I tested the latest binarys would not run on Bullseye due to libc requirements, newer version needed.
That often makes a mockery of portable and appimage versions, not just for UngoogledChromium.

As usual watch your cache size, it can get guge very quickly with all chrome based browsers.

Wanting u Block for UngoogledChromium on antiX testing and without google chrome store.

As the plugin is no longer otherwise available I installed git and build-essential.

Followed following instructions from https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/tree/master/dist#install to get a usable setup.
Easy job.

– Clone [uBlock repo](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock): git clone https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock.git
– Set path to uBlock: cd uBlock
– The official version of uBO is in the master branch
– git checkout master
– Build the plugin:
– Chromium: make chromium
– Load the result of the build into your browser:
find the plugin at uBlock/dist/build/uBlock0.chromium
– Chromium:
– Navigate to chrome://extensions/
– Check _”Developer mode”_
– Click _”Load unpacked”_
– Select /uBlock/dist/build/uBlock0.chromium/
or as I did just drag and drop in to the chromium extensions window.
After install disable developer mode

Enjoy, the plugin works as expected
