Attention: It requires SSE3!

There is also waterfox-kde package with LTO+PGO and SSE2 support and langpacks on my repository on OBS.

Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/Arch/$arch

If you got 404, then temporarily try to replace download.opensuse.org with downloadcontent.opensuse.org. That should enforce direct download without mirror.

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --add - <<< "${key}"
pacman-key --lsign-key "${fingerprint}"

@rafnov Those mentioned fixes should be already in latest Waterfox version. In case of not responding at GitHub, I would say it's nothing new, they usually rarely reply.

Maybe you know what's wrong with the upstream? While most 3rd party Firefox clones hurry in fixing dangerous Firefox flaw: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-51/ the Waterfox do not respond. Not for PC, neither for Android it hasn't been fixed yet. I know we don't discuss Android version here, but worthy mention, as it shows upstrem attitude: they don't care. Autofill on Android is broken again, and no fix, while on many other clones it works flawlessly as on vanilla Firefox. Waterfox dev does not respond on github.

Should be the same as Firefox: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#HTML5_DRM/Widevine

I'm just wondering if there's a way to make DRM services like Netflix to work?

G6.0.10 is out now. This fails using yay. I was able to work around the failure by cloning the aur repo manually and got updated to G6.0.09. Again, G6.0.10 is out, so this needs updated.

aliu commented on 2024-02-28 18:30 (UTC)

The update 25 hrs ago fixed it for me.

murlakatamenka commented on 2024-02-28 16:46 (UTC)

yeah, the checksum is not updated for G6.0.9

cd ~/.cache/paru/clone/waterfox-bin
updkgsums # from pacman-contrib

makepkg -i

root@arch arch → yay -S waterfox-bin

-> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.

the sha512 of waterfox-G6.0.9.tar.bz2 seems to be wrong, so the package cannot be installed.

Please kindly remove provides=waterfox-g. It doesn't make sense to keep it after the recent name alignments throughout the AUR to name waterfox packages as waterfox, not waterfox-g.

Also AUR/waterfox doesn't provide it (and it shouldn't).
