off topic: soliciting someone to take over a Firefox config guide

[atomGit]

i first published the Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs in 2015

i wrote the guide as much for myself as to share with others

truth be told, i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and i never really felt qualified to be writing such a guide, however i never found a truly comprehensive guide anywhere else that covers terminology, preferences, arkenfox, system add-ons, extensions and how to configure them, profiles, web storage, etc., etc.

i'd like to 'pass the torch', as it were, to someone more capable than i - someone who understands the inner workings of Firefox and the threats to privacy better than i

the guide is responsible for probably 25%+ of my page views and is constantly in the top 5 most popular pages

i do have some conditions though...

• you must keep the guide up to date - allot of people depend on this
• i would like to see it remain as comprehensive as it is, covering all aspects of configuration, add-ons, etc. - a one-stop-shop for FF configuration
• the guide relies heavily on the arkenfox user.js and from my interaction with the fantastic people involved in that project, as well as looking at similar projects, it is apparent to me that arkenfox is the best of them at this time - it is exceedingly comprehensive, always up to date and very active and i'd like to see it remain an integral part of the guide

if you're interested, let's talk and, if not, maybe you know someone who is

I was thinking, what about hosting it in the form of a git repo? I get that GH has issues, but maybe CodeBerg, SourceHut or something.

That way anyone could suggest edits, and the decent additions can be merged. And it's easier to keep a project alive, as it can be forked by the community.

Although probably a false sense of security, but I always trust git projects more. The ability to see who made each addition (tho, it is trivial to spoof), and the more traction a project gets, the more eyes to spot any potential errors, and transparently raising issues.

i've thought about that and i think it's a good way to go - i guess i never did it for nostalgic reasons - Codeberg it is

i'll let you know when i move it since i believe you've linked to it

[Lissy93]

You should probably also put a link to the repo where the blog page used to be. As the old page probably been bookmarked and linked to by others too

[atomGit]

absolutely - that guide is probably linked all over the place

[atomGit]

new location: firefox-config-guide

you could leave your links as is if you want since the old page links to the codeberg repo
