Well I believe Libre v128 has the checkbox for "keeping the data private" or something like that. So I'm running v127 at the moment.
As far as a firefox clone goes, LibreWolf is pretty secure. Using a NoScript extension makes it somewhat analogus to the Tor Browser without the VPN,
I just downloaded a Mulvad appimage and ran it in KLV-spectr, and it doesn't want to run as root. So I may download the deb package and try it in F96. And I may try logging into Spectr as spot and see if the appimage will run. I tried running it from the terminal using 'run-as-spot' but it still complains about running as root.
Firefox is open source so I wonder 
why LibreWolf (which is a fork of FF) includes it. Nevertheless running old version of a software that does not includes security updates/fixes is not a good idea, especially if it is a web browser , especially if you care about security.
If you are looking for a web browser that is as close as the TOR Browser , well, look no further than Mullvad browser, they have even partnered to develop it (and yes, of course, it includes the NoScript extention). Your statement let me wonder if you have read or not the Mullvad browser description at all here. Mullvad web browser is basically TOR Browser without using the TOR network.
There is even a FAQ here directly from the TOR browser official website https://support.torproject.org/mullvad-browser/
As far as I know Mullvad does not provide any appimage, so I am not sure where you found it, maybe you meant you downloaded the tarball, the file with the .tar.xz extension. It is normal you got that alert as the script that launches Mullvad browser has a security protection that alerts and prevents you to run it as root , for obvious security reasons; this is another detail that tell you they are serious about security.
To install Mullvad browser follow the instruction https://mullvad.net/en/download/browser/linux within the "Ubuntu/Debian" section , removing "sudo" from the command lines
Code: Select all
# Download the Mullvad signing key
curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc
# Add the Mullvad repository server to apt
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
# Install the package
apt update
apt install mullvad-browser
then you launch it with
you can also set it up as default web browser within your puppy linux with the same command
NOTE: please be aware that it might be a slow process at times, in term of connection and download speed, I do not know why.
