Nice :). It's pretty basic but has just enough configuration options for what I need. It's basically just an app drawer and favorites drawer, but you can set the favorites drawer to never close and the app drawer to never open.

The UI tools are pretty limited and I had to play around with a screenshot in GIMP and re-arrange the exported settings file in order to get my favorites ordered as desired (possible without doing that, but slow). But since setting it up everything has been pretty smooth

Kvaesitso is pretty slick! I just tried it for a bit, and it looks well-written. I like having all my icons shrunk down and compressed on my desktop, so it's not quite what I'm looking for, but I tried Discreet Launcher after your comment and was able to configure it pretty well to my liking. Still missing some features that I like from OpenLauncher but it has what I need

Oh good point, thanks for the heads up. I see that the last release was a few years ago and there are a lot of open issues. I haven't had too many problems with it, but a launcher is something you don't want to have security vulnerabilities for. Will look around for an alternative

Congrats! It's great software. OsmAnd~, Unexpected Keyboard, ~~OpenLauncher~~, Arcticons Dark, UntrackMe, and Mull are a few of my favorites. Aurora Store also, but I try not to use it unless I absoutely need to (I don't have sandboxed Google services/Play installed)

Edit: OpenLauncher might be a bit out of date. Will switch to Discreet Launcher for now, but the dev has stopped adding features and will only release bugfixes and Android compatibility updates moving forward

Major bugs usually get fixed pretty quickly- I always check the GitHub to make sure I have the latest version when I have issues. And Invidious can work as an alternative most of the time, but some instances work better than others

I stopped using recommendations years ago and only use NewPipe and Invidious. I did notice a reduction in my watch time, but there is plenty to watch when using a subscription-only feed. I havent added very many channels to my list since then, but personalized recommendations aren't worth the privacy cost. Hoping to leave the platform eventually

I use Terminus (ter-112n) for TTY, Source Code Pro for terminal emulators, and DejaVu, Liberation, and Noto for others

Had the same issue with Plasma Wayland in QEMU but I never found a solution. Toggling anti-aliasing sometimes helped, temporarily

Try going down the page and looking for the categories with more than a few bits of identifying information. I'm running LibreWolf with just uBlock Origin and Dark Reader (which I don't think influences results) and I'm able to get nearly-unique, instead of unique (but I do get unique on default settings). TBB gets non-unique, which is a good set of results to compare to.

In my case I noticed that my fonts were really unique so I set browser.display.use_document_fonts = 0. Also I use my WM to set my page resolution to 1920x1080, which seems to have a better fingerprint than the default LibreWolf floating resolution of 1600x900 (and even the letterboxing resolutions, from what I can tell).

I just spent some time testing again and checking for anything else. RFP does force a generic user agent, but unfortunately it keeps the version information and I can't figure out how to change it with RFP on. Would be nice to set it to the ESR version used by TBB (which has lower bits), but I'm not sure if that would lead to a more unique fingerprint (if, say, a feature was detected that is available in later versions but not ESR).

Edit: just tried Mullvad browser, and it's non-unique! Might be the best option.

Genkernel is a good alternative generator, but you can also write your own initramfs and build it into the kernel. A custom initramfs (see also) is pretty flexible- I've had success setting up cryptsetup, lvm, and dropbear sshd by reading the various wiki examples. Not sure about your Intel issue though

Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great! The background texture is really nice
