attackanddefense.dev Hardening the Firefox Frontend with Content Security Policies
Most of the Firefox User Interface (UI), including the address bar and the tab strip, are implemented using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript plus some additional custom components like XUL. One of the advantages of using web technologies for the front end is that it allows ren...
Summary
We have rewritten over 600 JavaScript event handlers to mitigate XSS and other injection attacks in the main Firefox user interface. This mitigation will ship in Firefox 138. However, blocking the execution of scripts in the parent process is not the end - we will expand this technique to other contexts in the near future. There is still more work to do as the UI requires JavaScript APIs with a high level of privileges. However: We still eliminated a whole class of attacks, significantly raising the bar for attackers to exploit Firefox. In fact, we hopefully just broke someone’s exploit chain.

Why is this important? Because it’s a crucial aspect for supply-chain security.

This is exactly what came to my mind while reading through the article.
Your home server might have the required bandwidth but not requisite the infra to support server load (hundreds of parallel connections/downloads).
Bandwidth is only one aspect of the problem.
That solves the media distribution related storage issue, but not the CI/CD pipeline infra issue.
Exactly the same rationale as mine.
Users are only shown Big Tech “3rd-party” options. Mozilla made this choice intentionally.
Well, how many users really have LLM local-hosted?
To be honest, I never tried publicly available instances of any privacy front-ends (SearxNG, Nitter, Redlib etc.). I always self-host and route all such traffic via VPN.
My initial issue with SearxNG was with the default selection of search engines. Default inclusion of Qwant engine caused irrelevant and non-english results to return. Currently my selection is limited to Google, Bing and Brave as DDG takes around 2 sec to return result (based on the VPN server location I'm using).
If you still remember the error messages, I might help to help fix that.
