I just searched for chrome vs firefox and just about every article from the past year or so say firefox is more secure. Not that it matters a lot either way. Two party system is crap.
How so? at least on Android and Linux there is a lack of sandboxing and site isolation. This could be fixed up to a certain point but anyways it would be more insecure than chromium.
Do you have a more recent article describing that? 2022 is old but I’ve not seen anything backing up your claim either
To the dumbass downvoters: why does lemmy hate the concept of backing up claims so much? There are two conflicting claims, one that says Linux sandbox is bad, another saying its fine. I’ll believe the first person who can actually back their shit up. Nobody should believe either claim until then. This isn’t complicated.
I also just checked the sandboxing status directly in Firefox.
And I’m kinda of cheating, I knew they used it since I’ve got an unsupported configuration with HW video decoding. It’s caused by their sandbox blocking certain things, and it’s a known issue. Nvidia drivers don’t support VA-API, Firefox only supports VA-API. There’s an adapter library available, but it doesn’t work in Firefox unless you disable the sandbox.
So, there is still the problem with the sandbox and the only way you have hw acceleration is to disable the sandbox, I bet it is elfarto VA API adapter library. And what about FF Android?
Because you’re an adult who’s expected to know how to use a search engine. I used DDG and it took me about 40 seconds to find the source for the claim you’re asking a source for.
The problem with iron fox is that it’s so hardened about privacy that it breaks functionality l, for example you can’t even use add-ons if you don’t enable it first, it is disabled by default…

Firefox uses literally the Chromium sandbox on Linux, they have for years.

I’ll believe the first person who can actually back their shit up. Nobody should believe either claim until then. This isn’t complicated.
So there’s a couple of sources, like the (rather outdated) Mozilla wiki page detailing the sandbox support on Linux.
And I know it’s specifically the Chromium sandbox, since they vendor their copy of it.

Edit: Oh yeah, Firefox is also affected by the same issue Chrome is, where Flatpak interferes in the sandbox.

Burden of proof is on the claimant. That should always be the expectation, not “Do YoUr OwN ReSeArCh”
that’s why ironfox is so valuable

Waterfox is a better choice in that regard.
I like waterfox but ESR based
