Advanced Security TuxTalk - Ubuntu 26.04 LTS - Tuxified !

Yes you are safe with your userland apps. And Ubuntu took care of firefox which use snap and apparmor. And there is flatpak of course.
And you have systemd 'jail configurations' to protect some systemd daemons - for example look inside systemd-resolved.conf.(which handles DNS queries) You can enhance some daemon conf's by addinig more restrictions - like 'ProtectHome' ( if i remember correctly), (the options are documented in systemd something)

But Ubuntu is lying with those empty apparmor placeholder profilles, it makes the apparmor 'status' command shows a long list of stuff. And I don't like them lying. You lose a bit of faith with them.

Dunno if they are lying, from reading tests online app armor works. I have a full rescuezilla fedora and Ubuntu backup ,

app armor works

Oh apparmor does work. I have used their firefox apparmor profile before firefox became a snap. And I have modified it to forbid firefox from touching Documents, and exercised it using firefox's file menu, so I am sure it works.

Add : ApiVoid Script Extension for Firefox.

Current List :

• uBlock Origin
• Malwarebytes Browser Protection
• ApiVoid Script
• Proton Pass
• DarkReader
• OSPrey Browser Extension

Switched to Brave.

Hi,
in my opinion, if you're using Linux + API Void Script Stop + uBo, you don't need Malwarebytes Browser Protection + the OSPrey Browser Extension.
Choose just one of these extensions.

Switched to Brave.

This option is great in Brave.

 

[TuxTalk]

Removed ApiVoid Script Extension.

 

[TuxTalk]

Removed Brave, Firefox is default browser again.
Removed Proton Pass, this one really sucks.

Back to Enpass.
