Other • Browser Security

This is a howto from another Linux distro on how to run a browser with more security.

1. Run System Tools > Add New Users and make a "guest" user.
2. Download the attached script named "palemoon-guest", extract it and copy it to /usr/local/bin
3. If your setup has a .desktop file for Palemoon in /usr/share/applications, you can change the "Exec" line to run "palemoon-guest".

This is the script.
#!/bin/sh
xhost +local:guest
su guest -c "palemoon"

It does not work when using the Palemoon icon on the desktop.
It works if one clicks on "palemoon-guest" in /usr/local/bin.
Does anyone with a good knowledge of security know how to set up this script. I am using Raspian Bookworm with Mate desktop with Caja filer. Thanks
