Bazzits Adguard DNS setup

I run a pihole and use ublock origin in my browser so this normally doesn't come up. But I'll be traveling for about a week and would like to use Adguard (which I pay for) on my bazzite system. I tried following the instructions on adguard's website but when I run the command in terminal I get a message saying the bash command is not found. I assume this is because generally bazzite doesn't run bash commands.

I'd like a detailed explanation of how to get this running if anyone has it, or a guide I can follow.

Thank you in advance.

Audio Codecs for Firefox in Bazzite/Fedora

I have been able to see online that the problem I am having is a known one where the Firefox flatpak needs version 23.06 ffmpeg-full as a dependency.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this working and as a result Firefox audio stutters significantly on every website no matter what settings I change or what extensions I turn on and off.

I at first assumed this was a problem with my extensions and went through a pretty hefty troubleshooting session that got me pretty much nowhere.

I have attempted to install the proper codecs via the terminal and the system says those codecs are already installed.

I'm at a loss here. If anyone knows an answer or at least an avenue to help me get this solved, I'm all ears.

Device: ROG Ally X OS: Bazzite/Fedora updated fully to the most recent update released.

Windows Defender Anti-virus Bypassed Using Direct Syscalls & XOR Encryption

"According to the research published by Hackmosphere, the technique works by avoiding the conventional execution path where applications call Windows API functions through libraries like kernel32.dll, which then forwards requests to ntdll.dll before making the actual system call to the kernel."

Custom Search Engine Creation

I've recently installed Bazzite (Fedora) on a Legion Go. I wanted to add my custom search engine to Firefox but I have no options for it. I have seen threads suggesting to just right click and add. Right click with a traditional mouse works but not in the search settings menu where I would add anything. Is this possible? (I did try to search Lemmy for this problem but didn't come back with any results). I'm still looking for a solution using different search engines but a lot of data is out of date.

Edit: I found a solution that works for me. I typed in the URL of my custom search engine and right clicked on it and had the option to add it as a custom search option. It then appeared in settings/search/default search engine in the drop down menu as an option. I can now hopefully set a shortcut etc.

I'm leaving this up in case anyone finds it useful.

UBO Lite Pulled from Firefox Store by developer

"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"
