    Butterbian XFCE 0.3.0 Stable

    drew released this 2026-05-16 19:45:12 +00:00 | 13 commits to main since this release

    Butterbian XFCE 0.3.0 is out, built on the fresh Debian 13.5 point release.

    What's new

    Firefox is hardened out of the box. No more digging through about:config or installing privacy
    extensions on a clean install:

    • Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict — trackers, fingerprinters, cryptominers, and email trackers are blocked
    • Total Cookie Protection — third-party cookies are partitioned per-site
    • HTTPS-Only mode is on (with the usual per-site fallback)
    • Notification permission prompts are blocked
    • Post-quantum TLS key agreement is on
    • Telemetry, studies, sponsored content, and the onboarding nags are all off
    • Profile defaults come from Betterfox v150
    • Saved passwords are click-to-fill — the password manager still works, autofill won't leak credentials to injected forms
    • geoclue is blocked at the provider level
    • PDF default zoom set to page-width
    • uBlock Origin is bundled, no network access needed at first launch

    Everything stays user-adjustable. If you don't like a setting, flip it in about:config — nothing here is locked.

    Fixes

    • Snapshot retention is now fully managed by Timeshift (12 monthly + 8 weekly), with apt-triggered snapshots persisting alongside. The old custom prune script is gone — one less moving part.
    • Cleaned up an unused @snapshots subvolume that was a leftover from earlier design. Existing installs are unaffected.

    Login UX

    The greeter now matches butterknife — click-to-login (no retyping your username), and XFCE is the default session.
