Rethink Cachy Browser

[ptr1337]

Cachy Browser currently makes following changes:

• Apply some librewolf patches
• Apply Gentoo patches
• Add a more privacy friendly config

Generally, most of these are already covered by the librewolf browser and therefore this is not really special.

We think about on working on following:

• Find a better mix between privacy and speed of the browser, as well as usability (Dont delete cookies on close, and such things)
• Optimize the browser with the config
• Make it more user friendly

I think deleting cookies is a bad idea. Provide a reasonable dose of security + good ad blocking and that will be enough.

Cleaning cookies is a good idea, it provides good sanitization and mitigates some of the cookie-based tracking websites use, provided that users set exceptions for the sites they mainly use of course to save logins. While it is a good idea, I do agree that it is not a good default to have, especially if the browser is shipped as the default browser on most systems.

• Find a better mix between privacy and speed of the browser, as well as usability

We can start doing this by working off of the great arkenfox project. It provides a very nice template. Currently, the defaults are pretty lax but we can further make it more user friendly without compromising too much on security.

There is also other possibility at using chromium as base for browser, and applying some fixes,telemetry,built-in ads blocker – patchset
