Tor Browser on Silverblue

Okay, though you loose the SELinux sandboxing then AFAIK. (it’s in the rpm package of torbrowser-launcher)

So my idea now was:

  • make a new container with podman
  • in it install torbrowser-launcher.
  • I then have a double sandboxing and SELinux rules inside the container for Tor Browser
  • going forward, maybe there is a way to move the files and even prevent home dir access

So installing and even downloading worked, but in the end it seems to launch the Firefox browser it uses in some strange way and I cannot see it:
