A question about basilisk, etc...
Do you plan to put a stop to all the dialing back to home that Basilisk does with pings?
I used sudo tcpdump and for some reason it still shows a lot of dialing back.
On a less related note though, will you be supporting privacypossum.
It is supported currently by firefox-esr 52 and higher. As well as webext. Just wondering.

Re: A question about basilisk, etc...
De-Mozification is an ongoing process.
That being said, contacting servers for various services/updates/etc. is normal.
Can't help you with the extension. As has been said many times: it is the task of extensions to be compatible with the thing they extend, never the other way around. If it's a web extension then your mileage may vary - it may or may not work.

Including MOZ* variables (MOZ_Z_DEFLATEEND, MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, etc.)?

They've been using MC (e.g. MC_BASILISK, MC_PALEMOON). But I really don't think everything needs renaming...Latitude wrote:I mean renaming them to MCP_*.

Re: A question about basilisk, etc...
It's pointless to rename these things. They won't work any better with a different name, you know?

Ah okay, I am sure you know this, but I meant the unneeded pinging. like dialing to amazon when I am not using amazon... etc...Moonchild wrote:De-Mozification is an ongoing process.

Still, de-Mozification is good.

Ah okay, so as long as it supports web extension at all, it is a problem. Even if it also works on legacy as well. Right? That is a shame, I guess I talk to my distro about this. heh.

If you want privacypossum to work in Basilisk, then the people you need to talk to are the privacypossum devs, not your disto devs.zapper wrote:I guess I talk to my distro about this.

Re: A question about basilisk, etc...
We're unlikely to put much (if any) time into adding more WebExtension APIs in Basilisk. Our stance is that if you want to use true browser-extending application-specific features, then you should be using XUL/overlay extensions that have full access to browser APIs, and not WebExtensions that are primarily content/web service focused. Since the APIs are already there in our other extension technologies, there's little reason to do double work (and potentially open up security holes due to the way WebExtensions plug into the browser).
