And perhaps offer LibreWolf some cooperation and promotion of I2P ;)

There is no unbundled variant of browser for linux...

I found the package registry, so maybe... we could switch to it.

But definitely not right now.

If it becomes possible, I vote for LibreWolf too.

I know there is an AppImage for Linux:
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/appimage/-/releases

There is also a portable for Windows:
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/releases

And of course, the source:
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source

With all of this, there shouldn't be too big of an issue switching to LibreWolf.

If the goal here is a pre-hardened browser, Mullvad Browser (hxxps://mullvad[.]net/en/browser) would be a good choice to consider. It was developed by the Tor Project, contains the same security and privacy modifications as the Tor Browser, but without Tor components. It supports Linux 64-bit, MacOS (architecture?) and Windows 64-bit, and a more limited set of localisation languages. In theory we should just be able to get I2P to work and set proxy settings appropriately. There are some things we might not want though:

  1. Downloading Mullvad Browser from dist[.]torproject[.]org or cdn[.]mullvad[.]net can be legally unsafe for some users.
  2. Mullvad Browser makes some outgoing connections, which should be easy to disable. See: hxxps://support[.]torproject[.]org/mullvad-browser/#mullvad-browser_does-mullvad-browser-make-outgoing-connections
  3. The browser comes with uBlock Origin and the Mullvad Firefox extension.

I am willing to fully implement this myself.

Sounds good to me.

I am slowly implementing this on my own as codedipper/i2pd-browser, unfortunately I don't have very much time to work on it but it is a work in progress. :)
