FireDragon for Linux

Floorp fork build using custom branding & settings

Overview

FireDragon is a web browser built for Linux users.

It is based on the Floorp browser and has been changed to include custom branding and preset settings.

FireDragon uses parts from the Librewolf browser to add more features and improvements.

This browser focuses on network and internet use, making it a good choice if you want a safe and fast web experience on Linux.

FireDragon comes with extra search engines like Searx and Whoogle.

You can even run these search engines locally on your machine, which helps protect your privacy.

The default search engine comes from Garuda Linux’s own Searx service.

One key feature of FireDragon is its custom Firefox account sync server.

Unlike regular browsers that use Mozilla’s servers, FireDragon connects to a self-hosted sync server.

This lets you keep bookmarks, history, and settings synced more privately across devices using the custom server at ffsync.garudalinux.org.

FireDragon also loads web pages faster thanks to specific settings and the inclusion of FastFox tweaks.

The browser includes a Dark Reader Sweet theme and hidden navigation buttons that only show when needed, making the interface cleaner.

FireDragon features unique branding inspired by dr460nized themes and artwork by SGS.

Keep in mind, FireDragon only runs on Linux and does not list support for browser extensions or plugins.

There isn’t much detailed information about its user interface beyond branding and default settings.

Overall, FireDragon is designed for Linux users who want a secure, privacy-focused browser with built-in sync options and faster loading speeds.
