The Settings GUI in #konform #browser was in need of some love and is now having a refresh. Several new knobs, some shuffling around to make things more cohesive and less scattered, and some edits of hints to hopefully reduce potential for confusion.

New options for:
- First-Party Isolation
- Enhanced #tracking Protection tweaking in Custom mode (useful mostly for FPI users)
- #webrtc and ICE
- #dom Push and its optional network connection
- #jit features
- WebAssembly (#wasm)
- Geolocation
- WebGPU
- Async callstacks support
- Persisting of browser history

Hints and the "advanced" options expand when clicking the "?" for parent option.

Still a bit hesitant on where global toggles for #webgpu and #webgl belong. And perhaps configuration for cross-origin referrer could also move to Browser Privacy controls?

Otherwise feels like things are coming together - What do you think? Anything you're missing or that feels out of place?

@dangoodin @briankrebs Checks out. If anything, it's only scratching the surface. Many (most?) businesses are unknowing accomplices.

@QCCEChris Not exactly sure about fediverse but otherwise:

- Browser addon to prefer alternative frontends: https://libredirect.github.io/

- Alternative metasearch you can self-host: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation.html

Both configurable to support custom sites.

A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. requests to alternative privacy-friendly frontends

@techlore Why no mention of Konform Browser? :) Would be cool if you would also compare it in a future round up. I believe it should be highly relevant to your audience and compare favourably in such tiering!

@cyberlyra Would love to hear your thoughts on if and how Konform Browser works for your use-case. I think it may be highly relevant for you. In case you're up for a 15th browser on this fine day!

@oblomov @50Percent_Cooler Perhaps Konform Browser tastes better? Takes a different stance than LW on a few things and goes deeper on the patching in places. Would love to hear your thoughts!

(Currently no Android builds though; will echo what others said about IronFox and Tor Browser there for time being)
