pulse-browser / browser Goto Github PK

Needs to be clarified if this has been fixed. I suspect that this was fixed with #2

This is a big list of all of the Mozilla telemetry that we need to remove at some point.

General settings

• MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING
• MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT
• MOZ_NORMANDY
• MOZ_CRASHREPORTER (Community input: Is it acceptable to have our own crash reporter endpoint?)

Potential pitfalls

These are some potential pitfalls that we may have to deal with:

• When MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL is set to beta, custom prefs roll out (we will use different names for alpha and stable)

If you have any other potential telemetry points, please let us know and we will add them to this list.

Version comparison

• Pulse Version - 100.0.1
• firefox Version - 100.0.2

The sidebar is visible in fullscreen services where it is not supposed to be visible.

Implement internationalization using fluent: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/l10n/fluent/tutorial.html

Add a visible sidebar to pulse browser that will facilitate the space to add more features that are readily accessible on the user's screen. The proposed sidebar includes room for default actions like bookmarks, history, tabs and extensions that want to utilize the sidebar.

Librewolf changes the dbus name of their browser, and I assume that is something we will need to do as well before release. See this patch: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source/-/blob/main/patches/dbus_name.patch

Our current new tab page on Pulse Browser is bland and needs a lot of improvement. Until further progress on the new tab project conversion to tabliss (A project Tricky has contributed to) is suitable.

Maybe it would be a good idea to spend some time making some Figma mockups instead of just winging it?

1. Create a bot that filters Unsplash photos-of-the-day between light and dark (https://unsplash.com/collections/1459961/photo-of-the-day-(archive))
2. Write a patch that changes the theme based on if the theme is light or dark (Upstream will not accept the changes required for this)
3. ...
4. Profit?

Make a README for the organization page on GitHub.

Some of the panels in about:preferences are default Firefox rounded.

Example:

• #privacy (Tracking Protection)

• #general (Focus Browser Updates Setting Panel)

Version comparison

Whilst Firefox has a built in fingerprinting spoofer, it is fairly invasive and can be detected. Here are some other ideas for future releases:

• Subtle random noise in the canvas, based on a seed that persists for the entire browsing session
• Randomize parts of the useragent that are non-critical (e.g. x11 vs wayland on linux)
• Randomly enable and disable some fonts
• Randomize the webgl vendor
• Randomize DNT
• Randomize hardware concurrency within ~2 of the real value

Note that all of this should be done on a whole session basis to avoid detection by fingerprinters and blacklisting.

The problem

I am unproductive. I spend way to much time on github / youtube and not enough doing actual helpful work. It would be nice if there was something that increased the friction of using those sites

The solution

Something to find once I am done with school for the term. This is defiantly a future me problem.

When the user is watching a video in fullscreen mode, the sidebar box remains on the screen and serves no purpose other than holding space on screen.

Allow for websites to be popped out into separate windows. This would allow us to replace the functionality of Pennywise

Upstream has refused to do it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283670

There are several hardwritten nightly branding images/text scattered around the browser.
As a result, the browser cannot be rebranded using the configuration files and must be done manually.

This issue has been created for tracking reasons around rebranding nightly.

Things that are broken

• MacOS's installer file is put in the wrong location (#36)
• Windows full installer has nightly images (engine/browser/branding/*/wiz*.bmp)
• Windows 10/11 use nightly images
• The windows installer puts our code in Mozilla Developer Preview
• Browser help branding
• MacOS still uses nightly icons (#81 )
• MacOS still uses Nightly name (#81 )
• Default Firefox Bookmarks
• Private Browsing using Logo Nightly

Outdated Dependencies

• firefox: 102.0.1 → 103.0

This is primarily an architecture issue, but we need to handle extensions better. Most of these changes will be made inside of gluon, but have a large impact on the browser. The following needs to change:

• Static urls should be avoided, instead a platform, extension and version should be provided. Platforms:
  • AMO
  • Github Releases
• @fushra-robot (or maybe a bot implemented using probot) should file update issues and maybe pull requests
• Update manifests should be generated and hosted on updates.pulsebrowser.app

See the title. Need to fix this, otherwise people will get very confused.

The current README does not provide enough information. Beta README should be updated to provide the viewer with needed information.

General Information:

• Browser logo

• Informative Browser description

• Browser Images

• List of Features

Shields:

• Shield Discord

• Shield Build Status

• Shield Github Stars

There are almost certainly some hard coded Mozilla file paths somewhere that we will have to find and filter out.
