Latest IronFox for Android update
Updated to Firefox 138.0.
Updated to Phoenix 2025.04.27.1. - (See changes from the last IronFox release)

Added a toggle under Privacy and security in settings to control Safe Browsing. Note that this requires a restart to take effect.

Added toggles under Privacy and security -> Site settings to control JavaScript, JIT, and WebAssembly. (Note that the JIT toggle requires a restart to take effect). Due to the addition of these toggles, we've now enabled WebAssembly by default (due to the notable breakage it causes), though users are recommended to disable it if possible to improve security. JIT will remain disabled by default.

Neutered the mozAddonManager API to restrict its capabilities and limit the data shared with Mozilla, while still allowing users to install extensions from addons.mozilla.org.

We now harden FPP (Fingerprinting Protection) and set our overrides to unbreak websites internally, instead of using the privacy.fingerprintingProtection.granularOverrides & privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides preferences like we have previously. This makes it far easier for users to add their own overrides if needed. If you have previously configured either of these preferences, it is highly recommended to reset them after updating to these release. If you would like to disable our overrides to unbreak websites (as well as Mozilla's), you can do so by setting privacy.fingerprintingProtection.remoteOverrides.enabled to false in your about:config.
Added a Quick fixes list to uBlock Origin by default to allow us to work-around/fix issues caused by our default config significantly faster (while we wait on the upstream list maintainers to fix the issues...).

Implemented LibreWolf's Remote Settings Blocker patch to allow us (and users) to limit what collections are read/downloaded from Mozilla, and reduce the data shared. Users can configure this from the browser.ironfox.services.settings.allowedCollections preference in the about:config, though we would not recommend editing this unless necessary, as the collections we allow by default were carefully considered and provide important functionality, including for security.

Improved visibility of domains in the URL bar to better protect against phishing. - (Thanks to @mimi89999! 💜)

Significantly improved upon and expanded Mozilla's built-in certificate pinning to protect against MITM attacks. If you're a website operator and would like your domain to be added or want to request details be changed, please file an issue!
Took back control of all Safe Browsing preferences, meaning these can now be freely controlled by the users from the about:config (with the exception of browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled & browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled - these are controlled by the new toggle in Settings). For example, users can now set their own custom Safe Browsing provider if desired, disable our proxy and revert back to Google's standard domains, etc...

Hardened the internal PDF Viewer (PDF.js) with changes inspired by GrapheneOS's PDF Viewer. - #79

Disabled CSP Reporting to improve privacy, reduce undesired network activity, and limit the data shared with website operators.

Enabled Proxy Bypass Protection to help prevent leaks for proxy users.
Fixed a bug that caused cookies/site data and permissions to always clear on exit, regardless of their check boxes/values set by users.

Disabled Firefox's new Unified Trust Panel redesign for the menu that appears when you select the lock icon on the top left of the URL bar by default, due to phishing concerns (as it unfortunately doesn't currently display the full URL if it's too long). - You can re-enable this if preferred by navigating to IronFox's Settings -> About IronFox -> Tap IronFox's logo at the top 5 times, then go back to Settings -> Secret Settings -> Unified Trust Panel.

Disabled the com.widevine.alpha key system (MediaDrm).

Disabled Mozilla's GeoIP/Region Service to prevent Firefox from monitoring the user's region/general location and reduce unwanted network activity.

Disabled system extensions & system policies at build-time.
Disabled & removed the build dependency on legacy AutoConfig functionality (also known as Mission Control Desktop, debuted in Netscape Communicator 4.5... https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/netscape-unveils-enterprise-management-tools/) to reduce attack surface and reliance on legacy code.

Disabled more unnecessary debugging/development features at build-time.
Explicitly disabled SpiderMonkey performance telemetry at build-time.
Enabled mobile optimizations at build-time.

Updated the onboarding to remove Privacy Policy/Terms of Use references, and replaced the Firefox logo (and certain other elements) with our own.

Removed Swisscows as a default search engine due to concerns regarding false marketing of their VPN and spreading false claims about other services, such as Signal.
Other minor tweaks, fixes, & adjustments.

Snap Safe

The camera that doesn’t rat you out.   
Snap Safe is an #Android #camera app that keeps every pixel—and every byte of data—exactly where it belongs: on YOUR device.

Key Features:
• Zero‑Leak Design – The manifest skips android.permission.INTERNET; nothing leaves your device.
• Fully Encrypted – Shots are written to encrypted, app‑private storage.
• Metadata Scrub‑A‑Dub – EXIF and other identifiers are wiped the instant you hit Share.
• PIN‑Locked Gallery – A separate PIN stands between curious thumbs and your photos.
• Secure Sharing – When you do share, we hand the file off via Android's native share sheet—no detours.
• Granular Location – Add coarse, fine, or zero location data—your call.
• 100% Open Source – Auditable code in plain sight.
• Poison Pill – Set a special PIN, that when entered, appears to work normally but actually deletes your existing
photos.
• Decoy Photos – Select innocuous decoy photos, these will be preserved when your Poison Pill is activated. That way
your Gallery is not suspiciously empty.

Why Snap Safe?
We capture photos locally, encrypt everything in private storage, let YOU decide if GPS tags are added (precision optional), and strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically.

We NEVER phone home or talk to servers, slurp analytics or usage stats, sprinkle ads or trackers in the code, or read files outside our sandbox.

Privacy Policy: We collect nothing.

A View on the Open-Source Video Editing Landscape

https://youtu.be/qEYGGqolEvs

https://media.ccc.de/v/lgm25-upstream-2025-83652-a-view-on-the-open-source-video-editing-landscape

Whether it is stitching together some travel footage or producing high-quality film content, there are many ways people want to work with the medium "video". Their needs for #video #editing solutions are diverse, and so is their budget.

Open-source video editing software seems great for beginners to get started at zero cost. What do you get and what do you have to give up on compared to the closed-source options? What does it even take to build software like this from scratch, technologically as well as mentally?

This talk takes a brief look at the free-to-use options for video editing on a desktop computer before switching the perspective to that of the developers and maintainers of such software. It offers insights into the struggles with technology, fundraising, self-motivation, and community dynamics, while also highlighting the rewarding moments and intriguing current and future developments.

PeerTube is a free, decentralized and federated video platform developed as an alternative to other platforms that centralize our data and attention, such as YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo. 🎬

Quiet v5.1.2
=> https://tryquiet.org/

Quiet is an alternative to team chat apps like Slack, Discord, and Element that does not require trusting a central server or running one's own. In Quiet, all data syncs directly between a team's devices over Tor with no server required.

NOTE: #Quiet is not audited and should not be used when privacy and security are critical. It lacks basic features and probably won't replace your Slack or Discord yet. That said, it works surprisingly well and we use it daily as a Slack replacement.

Cryptographic Analysis of Delta Chat | UseNiX

Yuanming Song, Lenka Mareková, and Kenneth G. Paterson, ETH Zurich - Nov 2024

We analyse the cryptographic protocols underlying Delta Chat, a decentralised messaging application which uses e-mail infrastructure for message delivery.

It provides end-to-end encryption by implementing the Autocrypt standard and the SecureJoin protocols, both making use of the OpenPGP standard. Delta Chat's adoption by categories of high-risk users such as journalists and activists, but also more generally users in regions affected by Internet censorship, makes it a target for powerful adversaries. Yet, the security of its protocols has not been studied to date. We describe five new attacks on Delta Chat in its own threat model, exploiting cross-protocol interactions between its implementation of SecureJoin and Autocrypt, as well as bugs in rPGP, its OpenPGP library. The findings have been disclosed to the Delta Chat team, who implemented fixes.

The open-source mobile app Organic Maps is used by millions of people on both the Android and iOS platforms. In addition to featuring offline maps (generated from OpenStreetMap cartography) and turn-by-turn navigation, it also promises its users greater privacy than proprietary options. However, controversial decisions taken by the project's leaders, feelings of disenfranchisement among contributors, and even accusations of embezzlement have precipitated a divide in the community, leading to a new fork called CoMaps.
