except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy
I use Edge on Linux for working with Microsoft stuff on my corporate laptop. For everything else I use Firefox there. Privacy preserved, basically.
only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user's session, and other facilities
You lock it with flatpak as much as you can. Also, don't keep it running if not needed.
can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that "X program is still running in the background" or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting
