@mei @domi @SuperDicq I dislike it for a different reason: instead of providing an image with non-free-firmware alongside the free-only image (which was option 6 on the ballot), the free-only image was replaced with the one including non-free-firmware (option 5). This means that if you don’t need the non-free firmware, you still have to waste bandwidth downloading it and remember to boot with firmware=never. There’s also the fact that non-free firmware being available for your system doesn’t necessarily mean you need it (e.g. if you have AR9462 and don’t use bluetooth, you don’t need to load anything), but I don’t remember if Debian asks you whether to load each firmware blob or just loads them all without asking (if it asks it’s not an issue).

@libreleah @developing_agent the libreboot installation documentation says:

the factory firmware write might EFI variables to flash during shutdown sequence, so you should pull the plug to shut it down (remove the power by pulling the plug) after flashprog says VERIFIED.

So I expect the dumps will be different, but not in a significant way.

browsers do not offer an interface that allow for that

That sounds like an issue with those browsers, and does not make Anubis proprietary. You could make a more user-freedom-respecting browser. If there was a program that automatically downloaded, say, GIMP, and ran it on your computer, would the existence of that program make GIMP proprietary?
