@mak Please block pipx from entering PureOS.

Wanted to bump this and check on it, thank you.

Since this was just mentioned again, I need feedback here... Go, or no go?
/me is for dropping it (at least temporarily).

This issue is solved since release 52.9.0esr-1pureos3, uploaded to landing today July 8th.

This T299 is now a meta-issue tracking the various ways that Mozilla addons service is getting promoted, and the main issue of the integrated addons support using Mozilla by default is now tracked at T305.

@d3vid The promotion of Mozilla addons service via Home screen is now tracked in separate issue T532.

@james.rufer yes, I did not mean to imply that this issue is not still open (the status in this very issue tracker is "open"). I only meant to ensure that if you had some additional information, that I then did in fact understand what that was.

Tested PureBrowser 52.9.0 with a fresh profile per https://tracker.pureos.net/T524

If you go to the hamburger menu and then add ons, you'll see the attached picture. In the past this was directed to a FSF add on page. After loading up the most recent build on a test machine without Firefox installed, the normal Firefox add-ons page is shown within PureBrowser. So the original issue remains despite my being incorrect as to the cause.

What URL(s) are you talking about?

If Firefox is also installed on the system, the PureBrowser FSF add-ons pages becomes the normal Firefox add-ons page instead.

This issue is about following requirements defined by the GNU DFSG. Bug description is now updated to include relevant quotes from GNU FSDG.

Also, every one of these package managers will not download non-free stuff behind the user's back. Like APT itself or a webbrowser, it will download things only if the users has directly requested that.

This is impossible, as pretty much all of GNOME, systemd, Xorg depends on Meson, and no Rust code can be built without cargo properly at the moment.

@jonas.smedegaard We deliberately added TorBrowser this way when creating PureOS back in the day. I never liked this at all, so personally I would like to remove the package, but I am not sure if we should do that, because the decision to have it that way was done on purpose.
@zlatan.todoric should the Tor Browser package be dropped from PureOS?

Please drop our fork of torbrowser-launcher: It violates GNU FSDG in that we lack control over what code ends on our users' systems.

Checking reverse dependencies...
