We built Umbra by forking, updating, and improving the ghostery browser build script, fern.js

Umbra removes all telemetry and outgoing requests except for codec requests ( netfix works!) All non-browsing features like AI, pocket, and profiles are also removed,

The idea behind umbra is usable privacy. By default RFP is off because it breaks websites.

You can build Umbra yourself but using the build script at https://github.com/openconstruct/user-agent-desktop

Or downod binaries for Linux/WIn at https://github.com/openconstruct/umbra/releases

They do! Or I have been mis-informed. I would never go against ToS for a free service that I have ben using for years. Too risky, and I try to keep my reputation good. The initial repo holds the script, which downloads mozilla source, then builds the packages. I just wanted a better named repo. I have the project on hold for a while, I have whole lot going on.
