Konform Browser is a web browser with the goal of promoting user freedom and access to the rights of security, privacy and anonymity. It is intended as a general-purpose browser fit both for daily online browsing as well as targeted deployments in secure or untrusted environments. Has stronger security with hardened defaults, better privacy and fingerprint protection while keeping user in control.
How does it compare to Libre Wolf? What's the stance on the AI anti-features?
There is some talk about this on the readme ("About") page with more detail on differences in the release notes.
On "AI", tooted about this here. As one example, the "AI chatbot" feature is disabled and hidden by default. If user still chooses to enable it via preferences, stock configuration only has one available provider:
localhostwhere user runs their own app (for example llamafile.ai) locally outside of the browser while proprietary integrations^1^ and telemetry are removed even when feature enabled. I think for all of the AI-features, both the default-disabling and making them work better (or at all) without remote cloud goes deeper in Konform Browser than others like Librewolf.Another example is
about:translations, which when enabled^2^ actually works properly when offline after translation models have been downloaded; they are not bundled with browser.Let me know if there is anything still unclear after reading that!
^1^: Like ChatGPT and others
^2^: "Basic Functionality" and "Just Make It Work" presets enable local translations feature and downloading of translation models
