In: u/leoperbo

and if it contaminated the compiler - it would not save me anyway, since the contaminated compiler would compile malicious code in to newer binaries.

LibreWolf is apparently still not available on Ubuntu Jammy repositories (long-time Kubuntu user here), so I install the AppImages on my $HOME, sometimes also wrap them around "firejail --private=<dir> --appimage" for a bit of extra security.

I add it to the nixos config...

"via repository" but sometimes that means manually adding repositories, not just the OS defaults

librewolf is surprisingly lightweight.
