Hi, I add using firefox --new-instance --profile[…] with firejail just to |
| 17 |
block firefox’ legitimate[1] access to ~. It could still read the whole |
| 18 |
~/.mozilla with the default profile, but even that can be restricted with |
| 19 |
some tweaking. |

|
| 21 |
As far as I understand facebook’s major business model is to gather |
| 22 |
information that were more or less willingly uploaded, at least not through an |
| 23 |
exploit in classical sense. Breaking out of firejail through X is possible |
| 24 |
[citation needed..], but I hope that facebook’s manager think it would push |
| 25 |
users away. |

In general, I don’t know what a custom user agent, and disabling general |
| 28 |
privacy threatening stuff[2] in firefox does for good, as most of it would |
| 29 |
just be useful to identify you *again* - a thing that you already provide |
| 30 |
yourself by logging in. |

[1] This might be discussable at all as webbrowsers are quite complex |
| 33 |
nowadays, but this leads to a whole new discussion. |

|
| 35 |
[2] https://privacytools.io is a neat site with much information about e.g. |
| 36 |
firefox’ modifications to disable stuff like JS battery status information. |
| 37 |
Yep, that exists :) |
| 38 |
https://www.privacytools.io/#about_config should link directly to the specific |
| 39 |
subsection. |
