See release notes!

There’s a reason why it’s disabled by default.

Also, even with Fission, Firefox is still way behind Chromium on Android.

You need to check Selinux labels. I bet it does not even use isolatedProcess and thus is only multi-process, but neither running with a sandbox nor with site isolation.

Edit: Still no isolatedProcess:

It’s enabled by default in IronFox

Per-site process isolation (Fission) is now enabled by default.

Could you develop? What is the screenshot meaning?

It might cause some breakage, but I don’t mind because of the added security.

I didn’t looked at specific issues but 80% or so seemed to have been fixed.

Good to know. My question is what is enabled already?

@celenity
Short question:
Where can I see the “Phoenix enhances uBlock Origin’s default configuration as explained here lists?”

Especially the lists marked with :rocket:
?
Or do I have to add them manually?

I will let Celenity answer, but just to be clear, this only applies to desktop, not mobile.
