What does HackerNews think of ff_in_podman?
Run FireFox browser in podman container with sound and video
Language:
Dockerfile
#21
in
Firefox
I know it's probably way harder than I think but I started a little project [1] to help to address the privacy concerns with firefox. Along the way I discovered there are projects like [2] that aim at hardening firefox settings.

I have seen something like what you explain here, except extensions: https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman
Some time ago I have done something similar: https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman
It's interesting to see, that hardened browser executed from container is actually quite unique setup (and hence, in a way, easy to spot unless many people are using same setup).
I started a little project to mitigate risk like this - run firefox from unprivileged podman container (it will work with docker too). https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman
I always get the same ID on the demo because 0 apps are detected :) and this makes the browser unique because not many people run browser on system with 0 apps installed.
