Applying for the survey doesn’t mean you’ll be automatically selected to participate: we’re aiming to find different types of participant to make sure what we do works for everyone.
If you have any questions, you can message this initiative’s user researcher Alicia at Licha.619 on the encrypted messaging app Signal. (I can also try to answer questions here as well)
I’d love to help to test but Mullvad Browser doesn’t have an official reliable deployment support for Arch, Void, NixOS, OpenSuse, Atomic/Immutable distros, and many others. Although it supports officially Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora based distros.
It would be nice to see a Flatpak version becoming priority some day after 3 years that was requested or have some more distros repo available.
Flatpak version browsers are not as good as official releases from the software makers and hence is not recommended to use (even though it may be available).
Yes, I think so. I think it has something to do with the nature of Flatpak, not the browser themselves. I do not know the full technical details for it and so can’t explain why. This only applies for browsers. Otherwise, Flatpak apps are great for every other app.
But let’s not get off topic in this thread for what and why OP has posted.
This is still open for debate for Firefox browsers, specially if you are only using it for privacy navigation on news, videos, reading forums, etc… Not so sure if there are evidences of security detraction in this scenario.
Using a Chromium browser for logins natively installed is recommended.
I see. I’ve been using secureblue as my main distro on my laptop and Flatpak is the main package manager. But yeah, this is for a different topic. I haven’t looked at the survey yet.
