And before anybody whines about

>m-muh SJWs

mozilla literally has three documented backdoors to Firefox.

>>1063277

Name three documented backdoors to Firefox.

>Ubuntu Touch (discontinued)

Ubuntu Touch isn't discontinued. Canonical dropped it, but volunteers still work on it:

https://ubports.com/

But the problem with it is that it's dependent on the kernel used on a device - you can't change it, so there's the same, probably malicious version Linux used in Android.

Update your shitty database, anon.

what's the point of non-invasive OS if the hardware and firmware will record all your keystrokes, voice, video and send it to Israel?

>>1063281

CSS3/always on or usable javascript

That fontconfig.so memory leak that hasn't been fixed for over a decade.

Telemetry

Unable to disable addon update checks even when set in options

That was four but need I continue? I am not even the poster who mentioned the backdoors because theres just so many more.

>>1063313

Those don't look like backdoors to me. Do you mean to say that all bugs are also security backdoors?

>>1063318

About:config settings that can't be changed in newer firefox versions

security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer unironically is a firefox about:config item that exists and works as it says on the tin and can be enabled by third parties with

Intentional memory leaks from javascript bugs kept in the code for decades because muh backwards compatibility

You are a enormous faggot and need to stop and lurk moar.

>>1063336

What should I use to replace Firefox as a browser?

>>1063338

This thread is about non-invasive phone/tablet OS's which firefox OS exists and fails at. If you want a browser thread go to one of those. If you want a non-botnet browser use a text/command line based browser. Now that said if you want a GUI browser with the least/easily removed botnet use palemoon 27.9.4 as it has much less of the intentional javascript memory leaks but still some for web compatibility and all the about:config options can be changed without hinderance. It also doesn't have CSS3/always on javascript or telemetry or inability to disable addon update checks. and I don't think it has the security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer bullshit. But even so compile it yourself using all up to date system libraries and remove as much bloat like dbus as you can. Also someone needs to fork that codebase and remove the remaining botnet from it. palemoon 28+ is a fork of firefox 52 ESR so

Firefox has all the botnet listed above. So don't use it. Don't use webkit/chrome forks as they have countless backdoors themselves webkit/chromium is where firefox is copying all the intentional memory leaks from, amazing (((coincidence))) they share the same leaks eh? and are fucking botnet.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1277691

Allow security.turn...this_computer only if MOZ_DISABLE_NONLOCAL_CONNECTIONS is set

This specific option is supposed to be set when a different security option is also set. You said that memory leaks in intentionally crafted Javascript can flip the setting. This means running untrusted Javascript code. You can avoid this by not running untrusted programs by default. Instead you disable by default and authorize Javascript programs through a whitelist.

>>1063351

Hi mozilla/george soros, fuck off.

>Instead you disable by default and authorize Javascript programs through a whitelist.

Why isn't that the default for all firefox based browsers then? Disable javascript and only enable via a whitelist? There isn't even a whitelist for selectively enabling the disabled javascript by default you faggot. Even then javascript is always on and accessable via css3. So get the fuck out you pajeet mozilla shill and or kike shill/AI.

Even so beyond all that, why is there an option to enable priviledged javascript access to internet read c/c++ mozilla API's such as access to HAL? Well the answer is so keyloggers can be installed and pictures taken of your browser without you even knowing it should some bad actor wish to do so. Why hasn't mozilla removed this option since firefox 19? Cause some (((security researcher))) requested it as a backdoor and it got added with no questions asked.

>>1063299

Is there no hope of buying any tablet model that is reasonably trustworthy?

>>1063410

build one yourself

most libre sbc as of today are olinuxino a20 and eoma68 (or i.mx6 if you manage to get one)

don't use {2..4}g botnet
