Hello List

I see that the librewolf people maintain a debian repository which
one can get at with extrepo.

But what are the thoughts of incorporating it into the default
one ? Normally I wouldn't suggest this, as every extra repository
adds attack surface, however in this case it may be worth it:

- Using a modern web browser is the biggest security risk the
casual computer use takes. So offering a more secure and
respectful browser may outweigh the risk of "less vetted" package
maintainers.

- The matter of solidarity - both librewolf and devuan are
breakaways / forks from complex software projects and
there may be lessons which can be learnt, and so closer
co-operation may be totally worth it.

For people who don't know about librewolf, the following

may be enlightening. The fact that they use codeberg
rather than github is also rather reassuring. There is a
case to be made that librewolf should be the default
web devuan browser...
