Notes

  • There is now a single, unified installer script for installing Phoenix on GNU/Linux distributions & macOS (as well as an uninstaller script to compliment it). Huge thanks to @Modaresisofthard for their work and contribution. 💜
  • Heavily improved macOS install & uninstall scripts.
  • Updated our uBlock Origin config to match latest upstream changes.
  • Our uBlock Origin config now includes BadBlock - Ethical Whitelist as an optional whitelist, not enabled by default. See the introduction here for more details.
  • Enabled the use of our custom uBlock Origin config on LibreWolf & forks. We currently don't support LibreWolf, but this is useful for if we decide to in the future.
  • Amazon, Bing, & Google built-in search engines will now be fully removed for users on Firefox ESR releases.
  • Our macOS Homebrew Tap has changed from celenity/Phoenix-Policies-macOS to simply celenity/tap. No action is required for existing macOS installations, due to Codeberg's automatic redirects.
  • If the user configures a proxy, we prevent the browser from bypassing it by default.
  • Changed certain proxy preferences we set from locked to default, so that the user may change them if they choose to do so.
  • Prompts for users to 'refresh' their Firefox profile have been disabled, as it could cause severe issues with Phoenix users (especially those using one of our user.js files.
  • Post Quantum Encryption is further enforced where possible.
  • Several important preferences have been added to our policies (in addition to our .cfg files) for defense in depth. (See specifics here)
  • Users may now install the FMHY SafeGuard extension directly from GitHub at their own discretion.
  • Added policies for defense in depth against dangerous 'Data Loss Prevention'/'ContentAnalysis' functionality. (See specifics here)
  • Disabled Mozilla feedback prompts & Mozilla's Web Compatibility Reporter - We don't want users bothering Mozilla due to our customizations; feedback & issues should be filed with us directly. Additionally, in the case of the Web Compatibility Reporter, disabling it also decreases attack surface & potentially improves performance.
  • Other minor tweaks & enhancements
