I just had a look at it, besides from the Vim part, it haven't got anything in it: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/devuan-sanity

Hmm.

How is the procedure if someone would like to become a maintainer for that package, and he would like to add something like changing the default settings for Firefox?

It's great it's turned off by default in Devuan too.

However, I have been thinking whether Cloudflare even should be in the choice of DNS server if one turns it on. Also whether Google should be (can't remember if it still is) the default search engine.

I know this isn't a "free" vs "non-free" issue, but more of a privacy issue, but helping users make good choices seems to be a part of Devuan's core, and as such perhaps the field should be empty or at least provide a service that truly respects privacy.

I'm not sure if this is "to much", but I think it would fit Devuan well perhaps?

Hi,

I was wondering if you guys are going to patch Firefox like OpenBSD has done so that it doesn't default to DNS over HTTPS?

With the agreement between Mozilla and Cloudflare, I think it's a really good idea not to have this enabled by default, and also to remove any default DNS servers so that the user provides his own.

Kind regards
