Before we get started: I guess it needs to be said these days that everything here is 100% by carbon-based life-form.
Aside from the latest security fixes from upstream Firefox ESR, Konform Browser now also has:
- Rehauled Security Settings with convenient global configuration for WASM, JIT, WebRTC, WebGPU, Geolocation, DOM Push
- Security Settings now also expose UI for enabling First-Party Isolation (same behavior as Tor Browser) and tweaking Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Spoofing of Navigator.sendBeacon
- Profile Import feature now supports importing profiles from Firefox and compatible browsers (FF ESR, Floorp, IronFox, LibreWolf, Midori, Palemoon, Waterfox, Zen Browser)
- Built-in depropped Multi-Account Containers[0] allows configuring per-container proxies and makes container tabs part of core browser experience.
- Privacy improvements and defense-in-depth[1]
- Various bugfixes and improvements
- Local-only ML/"AI" functionality more robust
Would be keen to hear if anyone checked it out and what you think of changes or project in general.

[1]: E.g: Disabling speculative preconnects and disabling background processes for disabled functionality. While these changes are motivated by security, it seems to also have surprisingly positive impact on performance.
