@Ygarr What do you mean without permit?

Ygarr commented 1 year ago

What do you mean without permit? I do not visit that resources manually by entering address. Just run browser. But the browser live its own life. It`s ok for default firefox, but hope not for Mercury

@Ygarr Mercury is in its early stages. It is little more than a rebranded, compiler optimized, and UI tweaked firefox. I have not added the privacy patches from librewolf yet that would mitigate these mozilla "phoning home" background network requests, but that is something I'm going to work on in the future.

Why do you use firefox instead of librewolf as the one you compiler optimize?

Alex313031 commented 1 year ago

@G2G2G2G Because I wanted to build my own fork. And add stuff in as I see fit from other forks.
