Konform Browser v153.6 was released last week and packages are available on all channels.
v153.6 is a major upgrade including scheduled rebase from Firefox/Gecko 140esr to 153esr, making 153.6.0-100 by far the biggest change this year.
153.6.0-102 was released yesterday and includes bugfixes for upstream issues as well as a couple of minor regressions. As usual, stable release is considered production-ready and all users are advised to update.
Konform Browser has until now been releasing security fixes for esr140 branch and as of this update, Konform Browser v140 series is now EOL. This also concludes publishing of beta releases from the konform-next repository for 2026.
A lot of tweaks, several cuts and a couple of new Konform-exclusive security features have been introduced alongside and on top of upstream changes to keep browser behavior and browsing experience aligned with expectations and project goals of #security, #privacy, and #freedom. For more details, see release notes and commit log.
