 Thanks to @Danny Colin, @LINux on MOBile! Also to Jesús Higueras from FuriOS who implemented the improved popup support in furios-firefox-tweaks first, on which some of the changes in 5.0.0_rc1 are based! #linuxmobile View quoted note →
:firefox: less than 10 days after the last release --- happy to announce that mobile-config-firefox 4.6.0 is out: * Adjustments for the latest FF 137 (thanks @LINux on MOBile!) * Per-site user-agent spoofing (makes e.g. youtube use its proper mobile site, thanks @Danny Colin and people working on furios-firefox-tweaks! also: sad that this is needed 😵‍💫) * Using defaultPref() instead of pref() where possible, allowing users to override them via about:config (thanks @Danny Colin!)

The recording of "postmarketOS - what is it and what's new?" has been released! Not in the video: three very nice people in the front immediately holding up their laptops as somebody in the audience asks about postmarketOS on other devices than phones 😀 Check out the other talks from the FOSS on Mobile Devices room too. I saw most of them and they were quite interesting! image
After ~ half a year of massive refactorings and improvements to make pmbootstrap easier to maintain and to bring more performance and better usability, we are happy to announce the 3.0.0 release of pmbootstrap! Personally my favorite new feature is that packages to build are now calculated and shown ahead of time, but it features so many more improvements. Coming soon to a distro near you - if you want to use it now, grab it from the git repo!
