Nix has an ephemeral command to "install" packages to try out before installing permanently. nix-shell -p <package> will install the package, and drop you into an ephemeral shell to test it out. Exit the shell and it's gone.

It's also possible to install permanently straight from the CLI, but that ruins composability. To each his own.

My bigger problem w nix is the lack of FHS and the hoops you have to jump thru to get a non standard app to work.

Protonmail supports + addresses as well. Not sure about others.

YSK: Garuda Lunux default browser (FireDragon) contains problematic extensions (lemmy.one)
 

Google, Amazon, Bing extensions have been added to Firedragon browser. These do not show up under "Addons and Themes". I only found them in "about:debugging"

This is a default install, with default settings. It is completely unaltered from what is shipped w/ Garuda. It does seem to be related to search provider settings.

Though Garuda is not a privacy based distro, FireDragon is based on LibreWolf. It seems the Garuda team decided to add these extensions in after the fact. Default Librewolf does not contain these extensions. (or at least the flatpak version I installed to verify didn't)

This may, or may not, directly affect your privacy. I would guess that info is only sent to these providers if they are specifically requested. But it is JUST a guess.

I'm sure this has been done to monetize the distro, provide support, yada yada.

I personally do not care what the reasoning, or whether or not any information is sent to providers. I will be moving away from Garuda ASAFP. If they do this, what else has been done?

As always, stick w/ recommended on privacyguides.
