 Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2018 2:48 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Falkon and WebRTC... |
 |
|
I learned that, apparently, the Falkon web browser (the successor of qupzilla) would have an option to prevent webRTC ip leakage. I read that from this post here. It says that in case Falkon is compiled against qtwebengine-5.11 than that option should appear. That seems to be what I have installed:
| Code: |
~> equery l falkon
* Searching for falkon ...
[IP-] [ ] www-client/falkon-3.0.1:0
~> equery l qtwebengine
* Searching for qtwebengine ...
[IP-] [ ] dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.11.1:5/5.11
~>
|
However I do not see that option anywhere inside Preferences. In any case I checked the USE flags:
| Code: |
~> equery uses falkon
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for www-client/falkon-3.0.1:
U I
+ + X : Add support for X11
+ + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc)
- - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
- - gnome-keyring : Enable support for storing passwords via gnome-keyring
- - kwallet : Enable encrypted storage of passwords with kde-frameworks/kwallet
- - libressl : Use dev-libs/libressl instead of dev-libs/openssl when applicable (see also the ssl useflag)
- - test : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)

because it could have been an option to be set there, but that was not the case. Am I missing something?
Thank you all.

As far as I can see, it's not there yet in 3.0.1.
If you really, really want it, you could use the 9999 version from the kde overlay for example.

| Thank you Chiitoo for your reply. I guess I will live without it for some time until it shows up in the stable version. You solve my question anyway because I thought I was doing something wrong and/or missing something. Thank you again! |

You're welcome!
I also got a confirmation that the feature will not be in 3.0 releases at all (not that there necessarily will be many releases before 3.1).

| Those are bad news... Is there any other open source browser besides Firefox, Chromium, and Opera which has webRTC leakage protection? I ask because I already have Firefox, but need a second one, which used to be chromium. But I am getting tired of the huge compilation demands for chromium (in my machine it takes up to 15 ours to compile), so falkon was my hope. I simply hate Opera, so I am kind of lost now. |
