Describe the bug

Hi there, I tried a new browser called Cachy Browser and wanted to apply your UI-fixing installation to keep it clean, as I always do. However, the installer didn't recognize the profile path. I attempted to pass the path to the profile using the command ./install.sh -p "my profile", but it didn't work. Therefore, I edited line 339 in the main install.sh script to be "${HOME}/.cachy", and it worked. The issue now is that after this fix, the website window of the browser has become smaller than its frame, with a space between the browser's main frame and the website frame, similar to the Tor Browser. Any assistance with this issue?

  1. Can I get a compiled package? If not, I'll need to install the CachyOS on the VM and check it out.
  2. Did you experience the same thing with Tor Browser?

For now, I'll look at the Tor browser.

I cannot find a package for this browser, but I found the core of this browser on GitHub https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-Browser-Settings I think it is based on librewolf.

No tor browser comes with this bug, I really don't know if it is a bug or just trying to prevent websites from getting which device i use.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it.
Could there be more conditions?

Try installing the system fully on you vm, I think it might be a package that interferes with the browser ?

Try my steps:

  1. Open your browser,
  2. Go to about:config URL,
  3. Skip warnings,
  4. Find privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing (create it if it doesn't exist),
  5. Set privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing to false,
  6. Restart your browser.

NOTE: Don't change values you don't know about since manipulating your browser with about:config may make your browser unstable or insecure.

Also, letterboxing is a privacy feature which increases privacy by decreasing fingerprinting of screen resolution on your browser.
